On Saturday evening, not long after we had returned from Portland, I biked out to 32nd St. in Springfield to the new Regional Sports Center and did one game as a soccer linesman. I was supposed to do a second game also, but it was a forfeit, so I got paid for two games (cash on-site -- can't beat that!) and got to leave early. I then rode my bike directly to Jason's house on River Road, about 15 miles and took 1.25 hours.

Soccer is a relatively simple sport, but the offsides rule is tricky. As a linesman, you're primarily responsible for calling the offsides violation. I think I finally understand it completely, since I looked at FIFA's 17 laws of the game.
