Franz Beckenbauer wants FIFA’s task force to tackle the offside law and make it simpler for referees to interpret after a weekend of quirky decisions from German match officials.
Beckenbauer is chairman of the FIFA panel that suggests law changes to the board of the world governing body of soccer. The panel meets next week.
“I’ve put it on the agenda,” Beckenbauer told Tuesday’s edition of Bild newspaper. “All members of the commission should think about it, so that we can discuss it.”
“Offside has become too complicated. We don’t have to go back to the stone age of football but to return to a simpler interpretation. The referee should, for example, disallow a goal only when the goalkeeper is clearly hindered by the offside player,” Beckenbauer said.
