It is forbidden to block the ball by jamming it with the feet, legs, etc., if this prevents an opponent from playing the ball (in accordance with the rules). The addition of the rule conformity is important, because it is a variant of dangerous play.
For a more values-based interpretation - players have to keep the ball ‘in play’ in a way that the other team can interact with, without posing a danger to the player(s) on your team.
As in this case the play is either unstoppable, or requires the other team to somehow extract the ball from between two players’ chests, it’s a fun theoretical loophole - but is not a fun or safe way of playing football if it became a commonplace strategy. In most cases, this would be seen as daring dangerous play - either the other team needs to kick it free, or jostle the players until they drop the ball, both of which are taking pretty significant risks of injury.

Ah, but blue and green are on separate teams, so technically within the rules. Also there’s a red. Wait what sport is this
Pretty sure it’s Snooker.
Barely know ‘er
It’s easy to score if the two teams work together
What if you get someone really tall and they just bounce it on their head repeatedly while they run down the field?

Shit that is amazing.
Man, those defenders need to go to jail for assult and battery. No play on the ball, pure intent to injure.
Stay classy humanity.

If they’re good enough to do that, they don’t need to.

But what if the player gives several million dollars to FIFA? Then can they do it?
No it’s still against the rules. Ref will just happen to not notice it, though. Which is definitely unrelated and totally coincidental.
Also somebody would definitely be offsides.
Offsides only applies if the ball is passed to you
