    Pretty sure this will trigger offsides, unless they also trap an opposing team player and take them with them…

      Offsides is the most bullshit rule ever invented. “You’re behind all our defenders!!!” Yeah no shit that’s because I’m trying to SCORE

      Exactly the opposite. Offsite means it is illegal to pass the ball to a player behind the last defender and instead you must walk the ball around said last defender. This tactic is all walking and zero passing so offsite never applies.

      Instead its illegal because you are holding the ball. Every move where the ball is stuck for more than like a second is a foul.

          Not illegal in theory but easily countered by the enemy team just encircling them or forming a wall. Pushing the enemy team out of the way of the ball bouncer would be a foul.

          Also the referee could just call it unsportsmanlike or obstruction of play and give a free kick to the enemy. The referee is basically always allowed to call any bullshit.

            I think it’s not a foul if you’re using your whole body. So you just need really big guys to slowly push the wall. And if you can’t bribe a referee what are you even doing playing football?
