FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 || 7 June – 7 July, France
- Thread starter Peru
- Start date
Rule is that the attacker has to be playing or actively trying to play the ball (or blocking the goalkeeper's vision), otherwise no offside. I think given that she doesn't jump and challenge for the ball, by rule it's a goal.
I agree that, when the offside player clearly is in the play enough to force the defender's action, it should be offside, but that's not how the rule is currently written.
90% of the time ref checks the VAR they change their mind. I wonder if it's lack of confidence sometimes.
I'd count that actively playing the ball.
And she did jump/challenge for the ball. It's just the other defender outjumped her.
I'm not sure Brazil's PK was a pen, so it evens out.
Gotta say, I really like VAR warts and all. Looking forward to being on the wrong side of all the decisions in the PL next season. D:
I'm not going to complain, but with the attacking player that close to the flight of the ball she must be affecting play. I wonder if the fact that the defender that got the touch was facing away from the player (and thus arguably not being interfered with) might have made her decide that way.
hmm, you don't always have to be right on the ball to affect the play on offside though.
I.E. When a shot is taken, and an offside player is within line of sight, or obstructing the GK, they usually call it.
even if the offside player is on one side, and the ball goes to the opposite side of the goal.

Monica obviously jumped because of Kerr. Years ago it would be offside. But they changed how the rule is interpreted.
Obstructing the goalkeeper is a specific exception to the general rule. Like I said, I don't like the current ruleset, but it's a pretty unambiguous call given the current regime imo.
should be a gif of that marta scream + deathstare. oof
so Brazil losing is on them, and NOT because of any call
edit:
forgot the "not" lol. changes the whole sentence
either way both teams can feel hard done by a major decision if they so choose.

If China plays like that against a high ranked team, they'll be demolished.
It's a good hit, but that's shocking keeping.
It's straight at her, over her head, from outside the box. Doesn't even lift her hands.
