Football isnt the most popular sport in the world for no reason. A bad ref call happens now and then, after all the referees are human beings, and plus this isnt like hockey where they have 2 or 3 refs. The football refs have to cover the whole football field, and sometimes they are bound to get it wrong.
And as for the offside rule, without the offside rule it would make everything easy for the fowards. They can just hang around near the keeper at the penalty box, and then get the balls delivered, and the defenders are powerless. The offside rule is one of the best thing ever happened to football.
And as for the penaltty kicks. The name says it all, PENALTY kick, you commit a foul inside the box, and you get punished for it. Otherwise defenders can just dive in and kick anyone and anything they see in the box, in order to stop them scoring
