when the ball is played there must be at least one defender between the goal and the designated receiver of the pass

Yeah, but watching 20+ men running, kicking, pushing, falling, slamming, and clunking their heads, how can anyone actually pick out anyone on offsides. It's a total disaster and not worth watching. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell they're all singing and rocking back and forth about, when there's nothing happening for 90 minutes right there in front of them.

They have a side judge whose only job is to look for offsides. You basically stand parallel to the further defender and that determines the line.

Baseball has been accused of being a dull sport, with not much happening. But compared to soccer, baseball is interesting and exciting.

One needs to entertain themselves somehow! And I’m just guessing here, but I wonder if beer might be involved.

I enjoy watching a soccer game once in awhile. I’d like to watch the final this Sunday - perhaps it will be over before I go to church.
