Arsene Wenger, FIFA's chief of global football development, proposes a change to the offside rule that could favor attacking players more significantly. His suggestion entails a shift to a 'daylight' offside law, which allows attackers to be ahead of the last defender as long as some part of their body is level. Although discussions have spanned several years and trials are ongoing, with IFAB actively testing modifications aimed at promoting goal-scoring, the transformation of this long-standing rule may soon take shape within the game.
"It was in 1990 after the World Cup in Italy when there were no goals scored, we decided that there is no offside any more when you are on the same line of the defender."
"In case of doubt, the doubt benefits the striker. That means when there's a fraction, the striker did get the advantage. With VAR this advantage disappeared and for many people it's frustrating."
