Please find the Maguire goal, where they show the offside line, it comes when VAR checks for the penalty. I am sure that he was offside. How can Vavros arm play him on? I don't get it ?

just make it feet or lower body at most, what is this nonsense

Shouldn’t the line be drawn at the head which would make the offside much clearer?

Oh no what an unfair advantage, vini would have never beaten him without being offside.

Hate it

But you can legally score with your shoulder where the shirt sleeve is, more offside than the line looks

how do they decide the exact moment the ball is kicked forward?, all very well having the nice picture above, but to me there’s a second unknown which may have inaccuracies

it should be measured from the feet

i love the tech. but i think there should be about 3-5cm buffer.. there's no big advantage here.

UEFA should realy change rule for this nosense, this is killing football.

Perfect example of why I tink the offside rule should be taken only the foot. The rule is there to stop goal tending. For me if an attacker times their run (which by the way, we celebrate attackers timing their runs as a strikers skill) and starts a foot race from behind the defender, then they should be considered on side. What advantage does Vinicius have here that the goal shouldnt stand, apart from timing his run exceptionally well?

The first thing that happens after a ball is passed, is a foot race. Not a shot. A foot race. So taking offside from the part of the body that can score makes zero sense. The number of goals scored that were not preceded by a foot race or movement of the feet into position, must be close to zero. Therefore the attackers advantage is not that they had a piece of goalscoring body part ahead of the defender, its that they were ahead of them in a race to the ball.

Is this not put forward elsewhere? Does anyone else agree? Feel like im losing my fucking mind.

The defender’s arm is further than any part of Vinicus body. Is it because you cannot legally play the ball with your arm so it’s excluded?

Anyone else think the lines should be drawn from the feet?

I've been saying for a while attackers should go for runs leaning thier whole body back as far as they can. It will look very silly but if your feet are the most forward part of your body nothing else can be offside. I know it's hard to get forward momentum running like this and I am joking before I get stupid comments

Ok, then I suppose i don't know the offside rules anymore. The hand doesn't count?

What body parts do count when deciding for an offside?

Because of that, I'm eager to wait new offside rule to be applied asap

What u want? It's clearly offside

What a joke

Change the rule to front foot versus front foot and be done with it

Clear and obvious

As an aside , this rule is stupid. It should be feet not torso. An offensive player leaning forward in anticipation of a pass should never have been grounds for offsides. The rule is absurd as it is currently interpreted.

What advantage is being gained here? VAR is doing exactly what I feared, changing rules from common-sense (if sometimes incorrect) enforcement to slow motion, pixel-level pedantic nonsense (that they somehow still manage to routinely mess up). Who is happy with this?

It's not Vardrid anymore
