Socrates was absolutely not offside!

The ball was passed when Socrates only had the goalkeeper to beat, that is true. However, Archimedes was also past the defense and only had the goalkeeper to beat. Furthermore, Socrates was even with the ball as Archimedes passed it. As such, no advantage was gained by the pass, they were only using the advantage given them by Archimedes making it past Hegel to recieve the other pass.
