World Cup 2022

The line shouldn't be vertical but the same as the goalbox linea angle. From that Lovren should be offside.

But fuck these miniscule differences. I'm from the old school thought that the offside advantage should go to the attacking team. But how do you judge the buffer zone I guess.

It's weird though that the whole ball cirviture of the ball must be passed the line to be off the field, but the FRONT of the body must be a mm ahead to be offside.

With the difference of directions between defence and offense it should be the back.

I was fairly sure they were supposed to be making the lines thicker and think they did in the premier league. Not thick enough though

Under these new offside/VAR rules, half of the goals from previous WC and CL semis and finals wouldn't have been scored.

Not to mention how many historical matches would have been changed/ruined for stupid slight-touch penalties during corner kicks.

1 mm nose/arm is now an offside.
Light touch, brushing someone's shoulder while jumping is a penalty etc.

I have wrote before: during every corner, someone is touching someone's head/neck/back/arms.
With VAR, you can literally find a slight touch foul during every corner.

These new directions are moving football towards:
-- don't touch anyone during corners, just jump, close eyes and pray
-- while with offsides, counters are almost ruined. You should be 1 meter behind a defender to be 100% sure that your finger/nose/head/foot is not infront of him because you are leaning towards the goal and he is turned with his back towards the goal, so you are always offside UNLESS you are 1 meter or more behind him = which then makes it way harder to get the ball at all

This is the normal progress the moment we accepted technology in football refereeing, you basically open Pandora's box.
You can't have those technologies and then get decisions wrong.
So it is mm based now with the new technologies.
VAR has been here for what? 5 years? We are just starting so be prepared for even more.

VAR still a good thing imo. Simple mistakes are here and there (not talking about incompetence), still a lot less than without VAR.

With VAR earlier we would've had a couple more titles, no doubt.

Var is good the rules are bad. Change the lines to big thick lines and only handball penalties if its clearly stopping a goalscoring opportunity and maybe indirect free kicks for other handballs

Was about to say the same when Khaled dropped the "Pandora's box" line. VAR is step in right direction however you twist it. Madrid got away winning CL's with offside goals.

Suarez clean sheet pending

Like Denmark is a big football nation now?

As big as M?xico and Belgium. That is, mid-tier. Not big enough to win it, but certainly big enough to cause trouble against top teams.

this portugal super team looks unstoppable

 

[wisconsincule]

Suarez clean sheet pending

Already has his arms up complaining and yelling at his teammates.

He sucks so bad.

 

[fergus90]

Uruguay have looked a million miles from scoring this World Cup

 

[El Gato]

That is about the worst penalty kick I have ever seen in my life
