The Offside Rule For Ladies
Finally, an Explanation That Won’t Leave You Feeling Mugged Off
Introduction
Let’s be honest, ladies. Sports can be as baffling as that one complicated eyeshadow technique circulating on TikTok that you cannot get right no matter how hard you try.
You spend ages blending and buffing, only to end up looking like a disco ball with a migraine. The offside rule in football (soccer, for those across the pond) can be just as confusing.
But fear not, fabulous football fans! I am about to shed light on this mystery like a highlighter hitting your cheekbone just right.
Get ready to understand offside with a twist and maybe even impress your significant other in the process (because, let’s face it, they probably haven’t a clue either) because men just confuse things for the sake of it.
Offside Ref
Imagine the field is your favourite shoe store; stick with this cherub. It is like a diet that we don’t want, but in the back of our minds, we know we really need it!
You wouldn’t dare barge past the saleswoman (the defender) to snag those Manolos on display (the goal) before your friend even gets there (the teammate with the ball), right?
That’s offside!
You have to be behind the saleswoman (defender) when your friend (teammate) shouts, “These shoes were made for walkin’… and scoring!” (passes the ball).

Here’s the fun part, being in an offside position isn’t a crime, just like eyeing those Manolos isn’t illegal (though your wallet might disagree).
It’s only offside if you actually interfere with the play. So, you can totally lurk by the display (be in an offside position) as long as you don’t shove another shopper (opponent) out of the way or distract the saleswoman (defender) with your killer wink (that’s a foul, honey).
Now, there are some offside fashion faux pas to avoid. Don’t be that girl who hides behind a clothing rack (defender) the entire shopping trip (game).
You gotta participate! But also, don’t be too eager to snatch those Manolos before your friend even enters the store (gets the ball). Patience is key, just like in football.
