Wenger eyes changes to offside law to end VAR controversy
Arsenal's former manager Arsene Wenger became FIFA's head of global football development in November and is proposing radical changes to the offside law to end VAR controversies
www.football.london
In his role at FIFA Wenger has been involved in conversations about changing the offside rule. He's proposing a form of the "daylight" rule, suggesting:
"you will not be offside if any part of the body that can score a goal is in line with the last defender - even if other parts of the attacker's body are in front."
Perhaps I'm interpreting this wrongly, but would this not present the scenario whereby an attacking player could be back to front with a defending player, facing the goal in which he's trying to score, and as long as his foot is behind or in line, he's not offside?
