Western looking guy with an American accent.
Rob and Alexi (and all of the official world media) will likely have a mouthful of Qatari balls for the next month.

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.

Let's get this thing kicked off.
That said, it's really the strangest World Cup ever. SMH

I have no clue how that was offsides.
The lack of replays is very telling
My dad is already ranting at that offsides call

It literally was not offside. At non point was anyone offside.
Yes, that is not offside.

In that pic, you have to draw the line at the goalie's butt, right?
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
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?
This is what happened with the disallowed goal. The ball came off Felix Torres, who was challenging the keeper.

It fell to Michael Estrada, whose foot you can see in an offside position. He headed the ball back to Torres.

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.Ken Scarborough said:

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?

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.Ag Since 83 said:This is what happened with the disallowed goal.

This is the way the game is being officiated now. It isn't a Qatari conspiracy.
Damn, Valencia's got a sledgehammer for a head

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.

Go to the group thread! We have rules!
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.
