This part was quite funny...
"If an attacker does not have two opposition players (one can be a
goalkeeper) between him and the opponents' goal when the ball is played, he's
offside. If this happens, the defending team gets a free kick.
. There are many 'ifs' and 'buts' so don't worry if you don't fully
understand the offside rule - nobody does. "
