It's as pathetic an abuse as guys who fake and embellish contact and injuries, another thing I find very bothersome about the sport. Or any sport for that matter.

sorry, simply overlooked that, no intention.
it is part of the rules - and part of the tactics. if there was no offside, each team would simply park one or more players in front of the opponents goal and just try to do long shots to them. and the game would be ruined.
doesn't hockey have a similar rule? no shots across the middle line?
and the faking of injuries... as someone who played handball that bothers me too sometimes.
