Everyone who is complaining would you all be happy if he was called onside?

When it’s this close just give the goal 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bit much innit?

I'm honestly shocked how brain dead half of the comments are. Offside is offside, simple as that. Doesn't matter if I steal an Xbox or a piece of candy, it's still stealing.

Stuff like this is why I barely watch football anymore. Sucks all fun out of the game.

I don’t have a problem with this. Offside = offside. Doesn’t matter if it’s with your whole body or with just a fraction of the feet. You (literally) gotta draw the line somewhere.

That said I would get rid of the offside rule altogether. They got rid of it in field hockey years ago, and the game (also because of a handful of other great changes) became better. Football is so ready for some radical new rules.

• Shorter games with a playclock that stops when ball isn’t in play
• Introduction if the selfpass after a free ball
• Unlimetd substitution (you don’t stop the game for a substitution),
• a penalty bench. If a player receives a yellow card he immediately sits 8 minutes on the penalty bench. Team can’t replace him duringthat period (a red card is still a red card.
• Two timeouts per game per team. You can only call for a timeout if your team has the ball on the opponent’s half.
• Smaller teams. Max 6 substitutes on the bench. So Mn City or PSG can’t bring unlimited starsplayers

VAR used in this fashion is hurting the game

The thing with recreating the players with 3D images instead of using the actual live image is tricky.

If the graphic designer chose generic 3D football boot template #1 instead of #2, the boot design might have been slightly slimmer and therefore not offside.

They shouldnt use 3D modelling to replace players. It’s not accurate. A ball is a ball. Players come in all different shapes and sizes.

I don’t know. I really like this auto generated audience.

Edit: seems that’s what everyone is commenting on

On this call there are a couple of things which I don't understand:

Offside is starting when the ball gets launched. Nobody is challenging it in this situation which is insane to me. 1 videosequence back or forth changes the entire situation in this context

If you look at the image in reality, kean gets the ball somewhere in midfield but there are a ton of players behind him. How was he even possible in offside???

I'll say it time and again, it should be the players heads that are compared, not any other body part. The head position indicates momentum and direction. Arms, legs, dicks, and all other body parts can flail as they wish, but the player's head indicates where they are going and their momentum.

Anyone who has issue with 1mm offsides being given offside has an issue with the offside rule. Not with the technology

He also scored an absolute banger as well, which makes it even sadder

When that Swedish team came up with a way around the offside rule by balancing the ball on the foot - FIFA's response was something about the spirit of the rule had to be considered.

Is this the spirit of the rule?

Offsides is the one thing that VAR consistently gets right, even this call. The problem isn't VAR, but the offside rule as it stands. Now that we this tech, the offside rule should probably be changed. I'm honestly not sure how it should be, but these mm offsides do feel against the spirit of the original rule

The real question is: how big is the VAR accuracy range. Can it even be that accurate up to 1mm?

at that point, that's not offside, wtf there should be a tolerance margin for millimetric situations

This isn’t clear and obvious. Lol
