The call is obviously a correct one. My personal belief is that the laws of the game in conjunction with the technology we have should change to allow these plays to stand and count as goal. It’s frustrating to see such offsides like this stand when the reality is the attacker isn’t gaining an actual advantage with the 3 inches of space
My argument is that offsides should be determined by one’s center of gravity and not extremities.
So you would need VAR for pretty much every offside call? There is no way a ref can call precise center of gravity on their own. How would you enforce that rule in lower leagues or even amateur play?
I’d argue calling center of gravity is easier than you think. If my center of gravity (hip/groin area) is past yours, the rest of the body follows and it’s an easy call.
