Offside

[Dave Paprocki]

Offside in Soccer. A foul committed by an attacking player who is caught nearer to the opposing goal than two or fewer opponents when the ball is played, and who was deemed to be interfering with play in the process. The defending side is awarded a free kick, to be taken from where the offense took place.

(especially in soccer or hockey) in a position where playing the ball or puck is not allowed, especially (in soccer) in the attacking half ahead of the ball and having fewer than two defenders nearer the goal line at the moment the ball is played.
