The offside rule

[Woodbinebhoy]

Has the offside rule changed?
I heard someone say that Jota was offside when he received the ball but I thought the player had to be offside when the ball was played and this would make him well onside.

Reading that it says the player has to be in an offside position when the ball is played by a team mate but isn't ruled offside until he touches the ball or interferes with play. So the old rule still applies that he has to be offside when the pass is made. Jota wasn't as far as I'm concerned.

I believe thats the interpretation of the law that applies. I didnt make my last post clear when I said 'touched' by that I meant by the player making the pass, not the receiver.

Yip. The IFAB is still made up of 1 representative from each of the the four British football associations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) with one vote each, and FIFA, covering the remaining 207 national associations, with four votes.

Although many countries are unhappy with this clearly British-centric arrangement I believe it can't be changed unless the IFAB votes as a majority to change the set-up, which the 4 blazers from the Home Nations will never do.

I read something about how the so called “Home Nations” were allowed to play in FIFA/UEFA competitions. They had always swerved the World Cup because FIFA wanted them to play as one country not four.
World War 2 bankrupted FIFA/UEFA. In the late 1940s a Britain v Rest of the World game was arranged and played at Hampden. The money raised was given to FIFA/UEFA on the understanding that the home nations could enter the Euros and World Cups as four separate countries. (The original 5 way agreement?) 1950 being the first time any of the four played at a WC.
