A player is in an offsides position in soccer if he/she is nearer the opponents goal than the ball or the last defender from the other team? True False

The statement presented is partly true, but it lacks clarity.

In soccer, a player is considered to be in an offside position if they are nearer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last opponent (which usually includes the last defender but can also be the goalkeeper). Thus, if a player is closer to the opponent's goal than both the ball and the second-to-last defender at the moment the ball is played to them, they are indeed in an offside position.

In summary, the correct answer to your question is False, as the statement inaccurately refers only to the last defender instead of the second-to-last opponent.
