We should have done better and topped it more easily but its not the worst CL group of all time which is a ridiculous statement.

Stretching for the ball is considered deliberately playing the ball, they decided the defender blocking it was notOK, so why was this goal given?
Offside rule can be improved - Uefa
Uefa's chief refereeing officer says he has met with Fifa and the International Football Association Board (Ifab) regarding the offside rule.www.bbc.co.uk
"Anthony Taylor made a correct decision based on the existing law and its official interpretation," said Roseti. The goal stood"
"France striker Mbappe was in an offside position but was played onside after Spain defender Eric Garcia made slight contact with the ball when he stretched to intercept Theo Hernandez's pass."
"The goal - which won France the Nations League - stood because Garcia's touch created a new phase of play with Fifa's rules stating "a player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball... is not considered to have gained an advantage"
WHAT IS GOING ON???????????????
I agree but Var is probably judging it from the instant it left Royal’s head so the defender would become irrelevant
At that moment Kane’s hand is fractionally offside but never clear or obvious
you've made me feel slightly better.
if its offside its offside. I don't like the feeling of getting conned but if those are the rules then fair enough.
These bottle jobs have their excuse for getting thrashed by Marseille next week.
If that call happened in the 5th minute of the game and then the rest ofbthe game went as it did and ended 1-1, not nearly as many would be blaming the officials for us not winning, they would rightly be directing their anger at the players for once again not showing up.
The player didn't have a realistic amount of time to react to that. I think the offsides is BS because it's bullshit microscopic arbitrary lines but there is no way that is a deliberate play.
So throwing yourself in front of the ball is not a deliberate attempt to play the ball? I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation of the law
FIXED!!!!!
I think that’d also be more acceptable but as you say not at all clear and obvious to me
Forget the any part of the body crap.
Feet.
If both feet are onside then that's it.
Bloody knee. Or arm pit. Or bottom of sleeve. It's all crap designed to allow interpretation depending on how you wanna call it.
Plus it lets those stupid dotted lines play a part.
Just go with feet. Keep ur feet onside then ur fine.
If the automated system is consistent, then I think most people would accept a small error rate. Issue is the semi bit of semi-automated - if VAR overrules, it should only be for an obvious machine error, or else will be accusations of bias/corruption etc.
I suspect you are right in this case that VAR was deciding if the deflection was a deliberate play. But 4 minutes is way too long.
I'm not sure what your point is. The refs decided the outcome by overturning the original call with a nonconclusive one. This game was decided by that call. In the 5th minute, anything can happen after that.
No one's acting like the players were amazing.
Not being funny but this decision is mad, with momentum, not even clear that he headed the ball forward. AND Kane is clearly behind the player he's allegedly in front of. Laws need review after this if the decision was correct .
It's not my interpretation, it's what the offsides rule is. Blocking/accidental deflections from point blank range are not considered deliberate playing of the ball.
When they took the VAR pic is suspect, a few frames makes kane offside. (var is shit)
Surely they should be able to calculate the margin of error of the system and any decision within that limit stays with the infield decision. That's what I dont understand
Kane needs to be behind the ball not player (I think he was behind the ball).
Neither of these are laws. It was amazing because Carragher made the same points and none of those have been rules.
A player can be offsides on a backwards pass if he is ahead of the ball when the pass is played. It doesnt matter at all where the passing player is, only where the ball is.
