    According to Arsene Wenger, IFAB will vote later on this year regarding daylight offside. Daylight offside will make it harder for teams to low-block / park the bus because it gives attackers potentially 1 extra yard of space in very compact area

    The daylight offside was trial in the past couple of years in Italy, Netherlands and Sweden. From the Times, the results were good. More attacking football.

      Biggest beneficiaries: Fast attackers and attackers in general.

      Imagine an attacking club getting

      A set piece cross into the box.

      A regular cross into the box.

      A rebound of a goalkeeper save.

      A none-call on interference / blocking goalkeeper sight because the player is no longer offside with the new rule

      Defending deep might be a good tactic on paper to negate this attacker 1 yard advantage.

      But it does not work in real life.

      Because it would open a lot of spaces if you defend too deep.

      Imagine two row of defenders at their 5 yards line (defending very deep) and 15 yards line. This would open up a lot of spaces at the 20 to 25 yards line.

      Will ATLEAST change the way defenders operate. This tournament totally showed that strikers are totally put down by defenders. Not a single centre forward played well this tournament. Except for mikautadze (but he was playing counter football). Two centerbacks just totally destroy any striker physically.

      This rule allowes Agüero, moratw or inzaghi type strikers to function again.
