But how was the goalscorer interfering with play at that point in time?
And he looked behind the goalie anyway.

And he looked behind the goalie anyway.
As much I wanted Ecuador to win, that's offside. Unusual circumstances and marginal diff, but indeed offside.
Did an Ecuadorian head the ball or did the keeper punch it?
If it comes off an Ecuador head it might be offside... but its really tight.
EDIT - actually never mind - just remebered the ball doesn't go straight across from that point... so I'm still not sure its offside.
I changed my mind on a Qatar win. After watching them for the first 10 minutes, they are just not up to international standard. God knows how they beat Japan in Asian Cup and made it to the semi-final of the CONCAF Cup. Even with the referee's help, I think Ecuador will win this. There is only so much the referee can do but if you're shit, you're shit.
The most complicated offside ever, at the most expensive World Cup ever.
It’s pumped in crowd noise through speakersThe atmosphere is dead? you need hearing aids
The ball doesn't get played across there...
But that picture has nothing to do with anything. That's not the last action before the goalscorer gets onto it?
At least they were half decent.
Red card for Ecuador incoming.
Nah just people from the EPL, they are the most incompetent so I will think it's them in the VAR room.
Finally replays.
There.
Brazil had special treatment in their opening match vs Croatia aswell
Turns out that the player passed to originally was actually offside.
The ball isn't headed across. The keeper punches it in the air, and then it's crossed when there are plenty of defenders back. Never an offside
Some people need to really chill. You guys brought the pitchforks but had them out a bit early this time.
You guys brought the pitchforks but had them out a bit early this time.Well they just showed hawkeye and it was offside, really tight call.
If that makes you sleep at night, go on.
what a bullshit animation.Knee offside apparently, though again no proper view against the whole line, not just the 1 man they showed.
Turns out it was offside
Serie A refs… yep.
What in the world
Guardian MBM says the GK missed the punch and it came off an Ecuador head - so fair? It's really hard to tell without seeing a replay
Blame the broadcasters for not showing enough replays.Some people need to really chill.
Pen Ecuador
Penalty Ecuador!
It’s offside. Relax guys. It’s not corruption.
VAR again.
PENALTY TO ECUADOR!
Penalty to Ecuador.
Qatar's goalkeeper.... what a joke, when dealing the cross or high ball
Does he know how to handle the high ball?

Ecuador look great
Peno!
Until VAR overturns it.

Could have been red?
Keeper is shite
Penalty!
