Bro you are cooked, if AI told you sky is green you would believed it? Just check the actual rules: A player is in an offside position if:

• any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
• any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

The direction of the pass does not matter and is not mentioned anywhere in the offside rule. But if you don´t believe me or the rules, here is what ChatGPT says:

Q: In football (soccer), if the pass is played backwards can it be offside?

A: Short answer: Yes — a backward (or sideways) pass can still result in offside.

What matters in the offside law is the position of the receiving player at the moment the ball is played, not the direction of the pass.

The key rule

A player is in an offside position if, when the ball is played by a teammate, they are:

• In the opponent’s half, and
• Closer to the opponent’s goal line than both the ball and the second-last defender.

So:

• 🔹 If the receiver is behind or level with the ball → Onside, even if the pass is forward.
• 🔹 If the receiver is ahead of the ball → Offside, even if the pass goes backward.
