It’s not Vardrid anymore
Ridiculous rules
Shouldn’t the line be drawn at the head which would make the offside much clearer?
Please find the Maguire goal, where they show the offside line, it comes when VAR checks for the penalty. I am sure that he was offside. How can Vavros arm play him on? I don’t get it ?
just make it feet or lower body at most, what is this nonsense
Oh no what an unfair advantage, vini would have never beaten him without being offside.
Hate it
it should be measured from the feet
But you can legally score with your shoulder where the shirt sleeve is, more offside than the line looks
UEFA should realy change rule for this nosense, this is killing football.
i love the tech. but i think there should be about 3-5cm buffer… there’s no big advantage here.
And if they add a 5cm buffer you’ll just complain when someone’s called offside for being off 6cm. You’re not fixing the problem, you’re moving it.
honestly I’ll be fine with that.
Perfect example of why I tink the offside rule should be taken only the foot. The rule is there to stop goal tending. For me if an attacker times their run (which by the way, we celebrate attackers timing their runs as a strikers skill) and starts a foot race from behind the defender, then they should be considered on side. What advantage does Vinicius have here that the goal shouldnt stand, apart from timing his run exceptionally well?
The first thing that happens after a ball is passed, is a foot race. Not a shot. A foot race. So taking offside from the part of the body that can score makes zero sense. The number of goals scored that were not preceded by a foot race or movement of the feet into position, must be close to zero. Therefore the attackers advantage is not that they had a piece of goalscoring body part ahead of the defender, its that they were ahead of them in a race to the ball.
Is this not put forward elsewhere? Does anyone else agree? Feel like im losing my fucking mind.
Didn’t see a lot of complaint when Bellingham scored a goal which he clearly handled, neither when he stopped the ball with his hand in own penalty box and penalty was not given.
Now you are crying for 1 mm error 🤣
The defender’s arm is further than any part of Vinicus body. Is it because you cannot legally play the ball with your arm so it’s excluded?
That’s exactly why
Anyone else think the lines should be drawn from the feet?
I’ve been saying for a while attackers should go for runs leaning thier whole body back as far as they can. It will look very silly but if your feet are the most forward part of your body nothing else can be offside. I know it’s hard to get forward momentum running like this and I am joking before I get stupid comments
