Just now, Adam said:

He was offside, just. The goalkeeper was so far out of his goal that he played the forward offside.

People forget the offside rule is two players behind, not necessarily one and the goalkeeper.

I still think there were two defenders between him and the goal from what I could see/remember.

It was razor thin, and they only showed the replay once on the live broadcast.

I always knew these Italian referees could be trusted .

 

Penalty! This Qatari keeper is a walking liability.

[Bobfoc]

I think Qatar's goalkeeper was someone they picked up at the bus stop.

I think you might have just described a fair portion of Qatar's squad.

[Chris2K]

Certainly describes a lot of the people in the crowd.

Was going to make a joke about he's probably the one Qatar born player and then I checked, and he is. Make of that what you will.

I really need to see that offside at half time, that virtual replay thing just baffled me as to which player it was meant to be, I assumed the guy who headed before the assist but it was very unclear.

[Bobfoc]

Give him the Golden Boot already.

[Szumi]

Waiting for VAR to still overturn this 🙄

[gunnar hendershow]

Qatar paid billions upon billions for... this

[Lowerdeck]

It's a good thing that Qatar is playing like trash

[gunnar hendershow]

That looked like an unfair yellow, he plowed directly in to his knee.

Maybe it's all part of the propaganda process. Make themselves look like a group of plucky tykes who don't pose a threat to anyone.

Well there it is. And I still don't know which player was offside and at what stage.

[Colly]

It was the number 11, the guy who headed it before the volleyed assist. BBC didn't explain it well at all.

[gunnar hendershow]

I swear half these ads during halftime here in the US are using "we call it soccer, they call it football" as the punchline. So creative, nobody has ever brought that up before!

[DavidMarrio]

When Valencia went down for a bit, thought he was gonna fake injury to try and get away from paying child support again

But the goalie punched it into his face and I swear they gave him offside in the moment it hit his face as well. He so played it and was the one offside?

The keeper punched it at Torres' head, at which point Estrada (the 11) was offside as per the tech, and he's the one who heads back to Torres for the volley across. BBC highlighted Torres wrongly in my view, it's a very tight decision but it's probably correct.
