IFAB Changes Offside Law, Transforming Football Tactics

One hundred years ago, the International Football Association Board made a landmark change to the offside law in soccer, reducing the number of defenders required between an attacker and the goal line from three to two, which significantly increased goal scoring and improved the flow of the game. This amendment addressed the problem of excessive offside calls, which had disrupted matches and frustrated fans, marking one of the most important rule changes in professional football history. Meanwhile, the New England Patriots' historic 21-game winning streak in the NFL, which concluded 21 years ago, is being revisited with detailed analyses of specific games, highlighting key moments and players in that dominant era. Additionally, a summer series focusing on college sports is spotlighting the most influential athletes in Nevada Wolf Pack football and basketball history, with Colin Kaepernick noted for his groundbreaking collegiate achievements and NFL career.
