What are your thoughts? How would it shape the future of the game tactically? Which style of play or manager would have the most success?

I would say that a high press system that relies on mitigating counter attacks by catching the opponent offside might suffer the most. For example - Ange’s high line defense against Chelsea in their 4-1 loss.

    I am for this change 100%. Yes it just moves the lines and you will still have the same “1 inch offside” but at least then we can all look at it and said you’re fucking off! Right now it goes against everything I grew up playing g and officiating which was “even” is onside. Anyway complaining about this would complain about any change to any rule.

    To answer your question is it affects everyone and no one. the teams that play a low blow will still do it. the teams that play a high line will still do it. they just adjust slightly. People are acting like players and coaches cannot adapt.

      Well this is just patently untrue.

      For a start, “even” is still onside now. Secondly, “even” being onside only became a thing in 1990. So actually most people will have grown up playing at a time when even was offside and it always had been for almost 150 years before 1990.
