FIFA approves new offside rule

The era of linesmen raising offside flags because of a player shirt or elbow is gone as Fifa has introduce a new offside rule.

Only offside when the entire body is in front of the last defender.

Netherlands, Sweden and Italy will be the first countries to implement the rule.

Previously, if a player was ahead of his opponent even an inch it would’ve counted offside.

However the whole body of a player must be in front for it to be offside.
