If a player is level with the last two opponents, it means that they are at the same distance from the opponents as the second-to-last and last defenders. In this situation, the player is considered to be onside and not in an offside position. This is because being level with the last two opponents indicates that there is no positional advantage gained by the player, as they are not ahead of the defenders. Therefore, the statement is true.

No, there is never an offsides offense (penalty) if a player receives the ball directly from a throw-in. The offside rule applies only when a player is involved in active play by receiving the ball from a teammate who is involved in the game. Since a throw-in is not considered active play, there is no offside offense in this situation.

Being in an offside position is not always an offense in itself. The offside rule in sports such as soccer states that a player is in an offside position if they are nearer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last defender when the ball is played to them. However, being in an offside position is only considered an offense if the player is involved in active play, such as interfering with an opponent or gaining an advantage from being in that position. Therefore, the statement that it is always an offense to be in an offside position is false.

The offside rule in soccer is designed to prevent players from simply "camping out" near the opponent's goal and waiting for a pass. A player is offside if they are ahead of the ball and the second-to-last defender (usually the last outfield player) when the ball is played to them. This rule encourages more dynamic and strategic play, preventing attackers from gaining an unfair advantage by simply being closer to the goal.

A player in an offside position will be penalized if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of their teammates, they are interfering with play. This means that if the player is in an offside position and is involved in the play, such as obstructing the opponent's view or blocking their movement, they will be penalized. The referee's opinion is crucial in determining whether the player is interfering with play or not. Therefore, the statement is true.

There is never an offsides offense (penalty) if a player receives the ball directly from a corner-kick. This is because the rules of soccer state that a player cannot be offside when receiving the ball directly from a corner-kick.

If a player is in an offside position and, in the referee's opinion, they are interfering with an opponent at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of their teammates, they will be penalized. This means that if the player is actively involved in the play or obstructing the opponent's ability to defend, they will be deemed offside and a free kick will be awarded to the opposing team.

If a player is in an offside position and, in the referee's opinion, is gaining an advantage by being in that position when the ball is touched or played by one of their teammates, they will be penalized. This means that if the player is in an offside position and is involved in the play or is interfering with an opponent, they will be penalized.

If a player has the ball in front of them, they cannot be offsides because the offside rule states that a player is considered offsides if they are nearer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last defender at the moment the ball is played to them. Since the player already has the ball in front of them, they cannot be in an offside position.
