Exactly.
Day 1: Qatar vs Ecuador - Match Discussion Only Please.
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I'm desperate for another completely clean Ecuador goal.
I want to see how brazen they're willing to be.

Scandalous.
Different phase of play. It’s not an offence to be in an offside position.
The atmosphere is dead? you need hearing aids
So after all that corruption talk, the hosts gets one of the dodgiest VAR calls in a while in their favour after five minutes. Great start.
At least Korea was funny because Italy were the recipients
Seriously, this's a joke. This is a goal 100 percent. Gk is handling the ball
Foul on the keeper probably.
They're using Hawkeye
Conveniently not showing another replay of the “offside”.
Yeah that's rule but looking at that image the Ecuador player is still behind the goalkeeper
a pair of chaps called bepp slatter and pichel matini.
Valencia didn’t touch the ball
It is ridiculous how many people don't understand the offside rule. It was close call, but probably offside.
Nah. The goalie was the one who punched it and also, he was behind the Equador player. And also, how was goalscorer interfering with play at the time?
that "offside" player wasn't even remotely involved in the goal though

Is this fecking real life?!
I've never seen a more corrupt VAR decision and thats saying something.

what are you talking about he is way behind valencia. are you in VAR?
The initial flick on header from the long ball, the keeper was ahead of the player that the ball dropped to and only 1 defender playing him on, so it's offside. It was tight, just his foot is offside by the looks of it.I'm sorry, but how was this offside?
I hate VAR, ruins the game when you can't celebrate a goal because you know there's a very good chance it's getting overturned.
I don't like conspiracy theory and I don't like hysterical reactions. But is this the most clear corruption ever at a world cup?
Expect Ecuador to get a couple of players sent off if they keep hold of the ball too long
Thanks for this. Yes, looks offside. I'd forgotten about the 2nd last man rule.
Yep, this is my understanding as well. They haven’t showed a proper replay yet but this is what I thought.
I guarantee that replay disappears from all tv stations except the west and we’ll hear that it’s Islamophobia to show the clip and question where the offside was
He still looks onsides on that view (the goalkeeper seems to be playing him on).
Yeah like VAR has been doing great in the EPL. We might as well cancel the premier league too
Was he goalside of the keeper though? It really didn't look like it and they only showed one replay.
This is embarrassing for you.
But you can be in an offside position in a phase of play you're not active in
Home teams normally get a bit of help but that was blatantly obvious of them fixing this, hope they get smashed now.
I hope Ecuador pummel them
it’s not even close with the proper camera angle
Corrupt country who got a corrupt WC gets a corrupt call. I am totally shocked (sarcasm)
WC 2002 has some competition because these Qatar folk are under way

I can still watch football and not agree with where the tournament is being played.
It stinks that it's in a country with the human rights record of Qatar, simple as that.
And that decision was a farce.
How dare you not yell corruption at the top of your voice ?
I think you’re just a petty Western that can’t appreciate the diversity, also, how dare you mention that the US did Guantanamo
Well Whelan's a bit of an eejit and Hamilton's ancient.
The guy who headed the ball to the one who bycycle kicks it was in an offside position when the keeper went up to punch it. His left leg was offside. They must have ruled the Ecuador player got a touch when jumping with the keeper.
Not showing a replay is pretty dodgy to be fair, but from the one still we have, I think offside is the correct call
