Isn't it obvious? Opposing players have to be 10 yards away from the ball, so when taking the free kick the ball could just be touched back by the taker for another player under ten yarda away to run onto and have a one on one chance.
Score.

Your also not offside it ya pass te ball backwards, anywhere on the pitch

They didn't get behind the ball, they just ran forwards as the player took the free kick. Slightly different.

I wish they would scrap the offside rule with freekicks. A freekick is given so that you have an advantage of scoring. Sometimes you'll be given an indirect freekcik with you not able to score, so what advantage do you have when you have to pass it and can be offside?
