The article from MSN Sports explains the offside rule in soccer, which is designed to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage by staying near the opponent's goal. According to the rule, a player is in an offside position if they are in the opposing team's half of the field and closer to the goal line than both the ball and the second-last defender when the ball is played to them. However, being in an offside position isn't an offense in itself; the player must also be involved in active play by either interfering with play, an opponent, or gaining an advantage from being in that position. The article clarifies that a player isn't offside if they receive the ball directly from a throw-in, goal kick, or corner kick, or if they are level with the second-last defender or the ball when it is played. It also discusses common misconceptions and the nuances of the rule, like the fact that offside is judged at the moment the ball is played, not when it's received, and provides examples of situations where offside might or might not be called.
