Right, the linesman in our game against Iran had no problem doing it on our 2nd goal, which I think was actually closer than this.

They're called ARs. Short for Assistant Referees.

Linesman is very sexist.

If they think it's offside, they let play continue. Then they raise the flag for offside after the play ends.

They don't want it to be wrong and stop play because the AR raised the flag. So they look at it afterwards.

There are times when it appears to the naked eye, like in the CroBel match, it's onside. And before AR, it would've been onside.

no they do it diff in every game- this one didn't raise the flag and a PK was awarded - they can raise the flag and the play can still continue - play does't stop till the whistle

They called that guy offside? I assumed it was the other one that wasn't really affecting the play but since they called that on France yesterday they were just following suit...

This really goes against the spirit of the rule. Technically, it's offside but when the difference is just inches, there is no advantage gained.

Really need to have some common sense when making these decisions.

Look at the image, only a computer can see that's offside.

You would think they would wait on the whistle, but they do not.

When they're being that pedantic on offside, one thing they never show is actually when the ball was struck. They can be off on that as well.

I know it's technically offside, but it really goes against the spirit off the law. It'll never happen, but I wish they would go to daylight. If any part of his body is even, he's even.

If they want an exact point to measure, maybe just use feet. Seems way better than some random point on their sleeve.

The ball has technology that aids in the offside VAR review.

What I find hilarious, is that's why VAR was brought in to begin with. To find if a player was offside or not, no grey area. And now it upsets people when a player is a hair offside. You're either offside or not, right? Thats the rule, stick with it.

Yeah, it's any playable surface. So they use the sleeve as a playable surface.

Hands/arms don't count.

I think people were upset with obvious missed offside calls, not this.

Classic case of give them an inch, they take a mile


Var has made the game worse, not better. Replay, in general, has made all sports worse, not better.

Yep. College football is the worst. Some games they're stopping it every 5 minutes for pedantic corrections, and other games, they don't look at anything.

Idea.

Instead of a 3rd place game, have the 31st and 32nd place teams from this year's competition play the day before the final. Loser is automatically eliminated from qualifying for the next WC.
