Rob and Alexi (and all of the official world media) will likely have a mouthful of Qatari balls for the next month.

Seems pretty gay to me

Just looking at the career of Alexi.

Played college soccer and hockey in college.

Wasn't even a professional when he made the 1994 World Cup team at 23/24.

It's quite the contrast between these kids that are signing pro contract at 16-18.

That said, it's really the strangest World Cup ever. SMH

Apparently.

And they only showed it one time.

Im confused.

It literally was not offside. At non point was anyone offside.

In that pic, you have to draw the line at the goalie's butt, right?
Rudyjax

Not offside. He wasn't involved in the play when he was offside.

Based off what they just showed, it was offsides on the initial free kick?

Shame, it was a lovely goal too

And now a penalty for VAR to nullify

I think maybe this is where they are offsides, after the goalie punched the ball

The start to this game has me thinking Zach Steffen might have made the Qatari World Cup squad instead
Rudyjax

Correct. But he was not involved in the play and when he was he came from an onside position.

I'm not watching but did he affect the defenses positioning?

In the replies there's a shot from the reverse angle that I think proves the offside, as long as you can determine the attacker played the ball and not the keeper

It's not the scorer who was offside. It was the assist guy.

Like I said above… this is a dumb, flukey thing, and yet another application of the offside rule that has no bearing on the intent of the rule. None. This was a scrum, and Qatar lost. This wasn't cherry picking on a long forward pass.

That's not a criteria for offside or not. But no.

So he came from an offside position to make the overhead kick?

No the guy that headed it to him.

I maintain my stance that if you have to freeze frame and draw a line to see if a limb was offside, it's not offside. The attacker gained no advantage from his position, he just reacted faster.

This is the way the game is being officiated now. It isn't a Qatari conspiracy.

Agreed. I got it now and yeah, it's offside based on that criteria and freeze frame.

I'm familiar I just think it's veered well away from the intent of the original law.

Agreed.

But I'd rather live with a call that while very marginal can at least be objectively measured than some of the overturns they make on a "fouls" that are definitely not clear and obvious in a contact sport.
