GIF: Goal chance butchered by player who ‘forgets’ about offside rule

Someone needs to explain offside to this footballer

You would expect footballers to know the rules of the sport they play wouldn't you? Well, unfortunately for Sydney F.C's Fahid Ben Khalfallah he forgot about one of the basics this morning against Melbourne in the A league-don't pass to a teammate when he's offside. The Tunisian has capitalized on an almost Steven Gerrard like slip by the Melbourne defender Saša Ognenovski to set up a one-on-one chance but then decided to unselfishly lay it off to Besart Bersiha instead of taking the shot. Bad idea.
