The Football.....

There was only one defender between the ball and the goals, there must be two…….normally the keeper, plus another player. In the case the keeper was past the ball, leaving only one defender between the ball and the players leg, therefore offside. It was shown in 3d after the game and from numerous angles.

Never heard about the two defender thing before, every day is a school day.

Obviously not, and looks like I wasn't the only one, including Dion Dublin.

In fact, reading it now, I'm not convinced I'm any the wiser being honest.

Slick, there is always the assumption that the goalie will be the last line of defence, although in real life it doesn't work out like that.

It's very ambiguous and personally I couldn't see a lot wrong with the goal.

I feel sure that someone who watches football on TV will come along shortly and remind me of my rules shortcomings 🙂

Indubitably.

After spending at least half the match barely trying and just going through the motions I reckon at some point in the first half Ecuador were told to ease off and not humiliate the hosts.

 

[Brandane]

No wonder Ecuador are winning ... its 6 times the population of Qatar.

Your theory doesn't hold up for rugby league then?
I give you England (55 million) v. Samoa (202 THOUSAND).

Too many conspiracy theorists on here about the world cup…….

I am shocked.

commentators do get things wrong on times and as per the many many many replays and camera angles shown during and after the game, the player was proved to be offside......nothing ambiguous about it, just simply offside.

Is there some football competition about to start?!🤔🥱🤣🤔🥱🤣

 

[T4tomo]

Whilst technically it was correct to rule it out, when you are relying on technology to suggest a small part of an attackers body is in front of the defenders (and bearing in mind some parts are level or behind the defender) its shows just how badly the whole VAR thing has been implemented and the offside rule worded. Showing a computer image of the suggested positions instead of an actual picture of the action is wrong too.

We should go back to level in onside and if bodies are overlapping then its level. It made for much better football.

Qatar were like a Sunday league team and Ecuador defo eased off.

Be interesting to how the Qatar keeper plays next games after they've chopped his hand off (or is that the Saudis?)
