in 2009 USSF declared a player must make contact with the ball to be guilty of interfering with play. This stance has been rescinded as of 2011. However, a case could easily be made in this video that he is interfering with an opponent as he is clearly blocking the keeper's line of sight and his ability to see and get to the ball

@TheDuran21 go read a us soccer memo...
-
no offside, i'm glad that who ever said it was an offside is not refering my game.
-
just because the ref didn't call it doesn't mean the ref was right... from this camera angle is easy to see he was offsides and the AR should of called it.
-
its not offsides if the ref didnt call it
-
offsides player does not have to touch the ball to be called offsides. believe me im a ref.
just going for the ball is enough to call it offsides. infact if the player screened the goalie with out going for the ball it would be called.
-
correct call.
-
Clearly offside... by many yards... doesnt matter if the offside player touches the ball.. just being close to it and going for the ball is called offside.
just because the AR doesnt call it doesnt mean the center ref cant call it.
-
No goal.
The goalie has to consider the possibility of the off-side player touching the bal. That makes him part of the play.
-
goal for two reasons. the man offsides did not make contact with the ball and the AR did not raise the flag

Offside is determined here by whether Nyassi, who is in offside position, was interfering with play. He didn't touch the ball, but he was within playing distance of the ball. In fact, he takes a dummy swing at it. In my opinion, he interferes when he takes that "dummy" swing. US Soccer says not offside b/c he didn't contact the ball. I think US Soccer forgets the value of faking contact in order to distract the opponent into thinking the ball is about to change direction.
