It came off Fabinho, it should've counted right?
Was goal

Its because you need at least two adversaries closer to the goal line than you. The idea is that one of the adversaries is always gonna be the keeper. So the rule is there to prevent you from keeping some attacking players parked in the adversary box, ahead of the defensive line, because it would descharacterize the game.I don't understand that "behind the keeper but ahead of another player but still offside" rule.
Well there has to be at least 2 players between the attacker and goal when the pass is made for it to be onside. If the keeper is way off his line and ahead of on his defenders, the last defender ends up being 'the keeper' in a usual offside scenario.I don't understand that "behind the keeper but ahead of another player but still offside" rule.
That rule is fine. Two defenders need to be between the attacker and the goal. It's the whole "defender needs to deliberately give the ball to attacker" that makes no sense. This wasn't even a Liverpool player standing and getting a nick of his jersey. Fabinho's challenge even faced Benzema so if we're going that much in detail then yes he actively went in for a challenge which knocked the ball got knocked into Benzemas path which was the expected outcome.I don't understand that "behind the keeper but ahead of another player but still offside" rule.
It was confusing as hell. The reason we prefered football over another sports is due to its simplicity rules of law, thats not the case anymore i guess.I don't understand that "behind the keeper but ahead of another player but still offside" rule.
I also thought he was offside the first time already.Has there been an official reason why the goal was called off? Watching on CBS, American TV, they showed replays at halftime that shows Benzema's original run was offside
No as far as I know, if they have time to make a decision to play the ball or not.Yeh. If a CB makes a wild clearance that bounces off his teammate, and the ball falls into an "offside" opponent, is it considered offside?
It is offside if there is only one player of the opposition team behind the attacker. It doesn't matter if it is goalkeeper, defender, striker, midfielder, winger, right back, etcI thought if the attacker is behind the goalkeeper before the final ball gets to the attacking player it's translated as offside?
It’s not ruled out BECAUSE of the opposition touching the ball, but in spite of it.It certainly came as news to me that you can be offside from an opponent playing the ball.
When did this rule come in? Has it always been there? Why in 30 years of watching football have I never before seen a goal disallowed for off side because the pass or touch came from an opponent?
Has anyone else ever seen a goal ruled out for this reason before?
Its a simple rule and one that hasn't changed in a very long time. You just always understood the offside rule to be that the attacker should be in line with the last defender, whereas the rule is that the attacker should be in line with the second to last opponent (and most times the second to last opponent is the last defender, with the keeper being the last opponent).It was confusing as hell.
