2014 World Cup: Group A

Dos Santos wasn't offsides when they initial ball was crossed (defender is on right goal post). He was in an offsides position when it was deflected, but it was deflected by the defender, not his teammate.

Ahh okay, the gif starts to late so I didn't get to see that part.

I'm actually headed to high point but just wanted to check the score and see what was going on.

How?

The offensive player came from an offside position back on side to play the ball. The deflection doesn't negate the offsides.

 

Yes, it does in this case.

The cross actually came from a corner so it couldn't be offsides anyways.

I initially thought it was offsides because I thought the flick came from a Mexican teammate. I guess that's what the assistant ref thought as well.

Ahh okay the gif starts with the ball already up in the air so I didn't get to see the defender on the post.

And from the gif angle it looked like it was off a Mexican player, so that's my mistake.

I'm actually on the way to High Point and stopped for gas but I just wanted to stop and check the score and what was going on.

Don't care who wins but I'm glad Mexico scored, they deserve this one obviously

I could be mistaking but I thought unless a player receives a direct pass on a corner you could have offsides.

I.E. player A is onside and flicks a ball on to player B who is in an offside position... I believe that's offsides.

Glad Mexico scored. They deserve a goal after having so many unlucky breaks.

Mexico 1 - Refs 2

 

 

 

[Ivan The Awesome]

Should be 3-0, but I am happy with the outcome. Forward and onward. 

[Goondal]

Missed this game, how did Mexico look?

[Ivan The Awesome]

Well, but Cameroon is a low-tier squad.

 

 

I think you're underestimating Cameroon. Although they couldn't get the win with all the ref help. But still, they are mid tier. Greece is low tier. I mean LOOOOW.
