New Rule

I find soccer talk offensive. Can the moderator remove all posts relating to soccer???

What's with soccer offsides anyway? I always thought it a good thing to get ahead of your defender. And another thing, it turns my stomach when I hear kids or parents during a basketball game yelling 'mark that kid!' How do you mark somebody???

You haven't done much ball where the farm boys set concrete picks, have you?

This is a term that developed from my playing days. To "mark" someone means to hit them so hard, they need reconstructive surgery. Of course, you do this only when the official's attention is somewhere else. Then, when people accuse you of doing this, you give them one of those "who me?" looks while you shrug your shoulders and extend your arms.

Mastering this move is now a requirement to play in the NBA.

You obviously never played ball against me. My brother said my blocking in basketball was better than it was in football, and he was a wrestler.

Well, why don't I see players lifting up players off the ground when a coach yells, "Pick that kid up!!" in basketball?

Soccer, the end line is the same, not just side lines, and a ball over the end line will result in a goal kick or corner kick. Not a throw in.

All responses are correct, but I will add for clarity that THE PLAYERS in soccer may go out of bounds and play the ball as long as some part of the ball remains inside the boundary plane. So THE PLAYERS can leave the field through the normal course of play in soccer as well as in basketball.

He could have been incorrectly interpreting the violation for leaving the floor (going out of bounds) voluntarily.
He is wrong because a player may have his/her momentum cause him/her to go out of bounds while making a play, and that is NOT to be penalized as a violation of the rule.
