Soccer’s offside law is being reviewed in an effort to give the benefit of the doubt to attacking players when decisions are reviewed.

A law designed to stop goal-hanging will be subject to a global consultation that was approved Saturday by the International Football Association Board with the intention of giving an edge to attackers.

The introduction of video assistant referees has seen the benefit of the doubt being taken away from the attacking players.

Is it appropriate for us to say, can we change the law to restore more benefit to attacking football?"
