See also off side at off ( sense 1 of the noun). 2.1 The right side of a horse. Note the lack of 's' at the end of 'offside' It's not a plural, there are not multiple sides that a player can be off from. There is only loving one ok!?. Please update your posting accordingly.

You do not tie a game, but you can play a tie in a knockout competition, or you can be cup-tied (esp. if you are a Russian gnome).

Footballers do not "make plays" when they play. A great piece of play is not "a great play". Play is an activity, not an event.
