Offside is a Swedish film from 2006, directed by Mårten Klingberg and starring Jonas Karlsson, Torkel Petersson, Ingvar Hirdwall, Göran Ragnerstam and Brendan Coyle.

Åsa works part-time with the finances at ICA in the small town Stenfors and hasn't worked full-time for two years. Anders lives with Åsa and plays for the local football club Stenfors BK, which is residing far down in the Swedish league system. They'll be shut down if they get relegated this season. Åsa, who has no friends, gets very little time with the family and feels her life is meaningless; she wants to move to Gothenburg where there are full-time jobs, but Anders wants to stay in Stenfors as he has friends in his team. Åsa wants her and their daughter Sara to have more time with him. She says she's got nothing, but Anders says he does everything he can do for the family. Through the acquisition of former Liverpool F.C. star Duncan Miller as coach and other players, the team manages to avoid relegation. Still, Anders and Åsa decide to move to Gothenburg, after Anders had been forced to sell their television to buy Sara her dream dance shoes.
