Offside for what?
Watched every match and missed more goals than I've seen with one thing and another. Feck my life.
Feck my life twice.
Feck my life twice.
Shite decision
Why does that not count? Very lucky
what?
Ah that's harsh. He is in the line of the keeper but was completely inconsequential on the play
He has an eye problem so wears them all the time.
Glaucoma
A perfect example of this is a Dutch footballer called Edgar Davids who suffered from Glaucoma in his right eye and underwent a surgery in 1999 while playing for Juventus.
No goal. That’s a pity as they’ve been the better side.
That's bs, the keeper still had a full view of the player
ridiculous
I can see why that was ruled offside.
Oh yeah I'm not calling anyone out for who they support or anything, I've been living in Ireland since I'm 6 and it feels like rugby has exploded. I do wonder though if there was like a super club in Dublin or the midlands if it would have a big effect. Sorry I'm gona way off topic now.
Obstructing field of view but its crazy because the keeper alraleady dived the other way
The decisions that need looking at they fecking rush. Crap officiating again.
Definitely offside. You can't just stand in front of the keeper.
VAR to the rescue!
Ridiculous decision, that's a perfectly fine goal . Not complaining though.
Yes, doesn't mean it can't be an exciting tournament but can't remember a tournament when so many teams were trying to squeeze the last drops out of their big names. Also don't think it is a coincidence that Brazil, France and England, teams with a stronger group of young players have been much more vibrant.
Not just that, looking at the Dutch, they don't have a single world class attacking player in the squad, as much as some may want to hype Gapko to that level, never seen a Dutch team lacking top end talent to this level at a major tournament.
The player was offside but the keeper had already dived the wrong way.. correct call I suppose.. but on a technicality..The player didnt hamper the keepers decision
Hmmm I'm not sure about that. On the one hand he's definitely in the keepers line of sight - but I don't think that actually impacts what the keeper decides to do, but as thats only an assumption and not a fact, I guess it has to be ruled out?
Shame for Ecuador. Deserved to be level. Netherlands been terrible after the goal
Yeah, "obstruction" feels like a reach there.
Cant believe people will debate this. Very obvious offside.
Very harsh on Ecuador. It’s offside but they’ve looked the better team.
It's a fecking goal stupid or corrupted ref or both.
Interesting one. He 100% stopped the keeper from seeing the ball. But the keeper was 100% not saving the ball regardless. Offside by the letter - but not the spirit - of the law.
He's standing directly in front of the Dutch keeper, it isn't a hard decision to make nor is it controversial
Clear offside
Clear offside
I understand it, but it is harsh and how can you definitely say wether he was a hindrance or not. It's also purely theoretical anyway as the goalkeeper would've never got to it due to the deflection.
That's not an active offside...
The issue people will have is that the keeper probably does what he does regardless of the player being there.
But you can't not give offside because of "probably"
Yep well said, you cant change the rules though just because you think the keeper ain't saving it.
Agreed.
Its one of those harsh but letter of the law decisions
Yup. There’s a tiny chance he flicks a leg up and saves it. A chance that becomes zero if he can’t see the ball.
Well no doubt it’s time for Peter Walton to have his say
Ecuador have been by far the better side. Netherlands are not inspiring, Gakpo has not impressed me at all.
Watching it again I suppose it's the right call, but I'm having trouble accepting it. And Im happy it happened.
Quite a few people think we can win the World Cup…. I dont know why everyone is so positive. Our team really isnt that good.
