[ThePrisoner]

OOh. What a start for the clog wearers.

Pick that out

As it stands that’s Qatar out

The first side eliminated and it's the host nation if so? Couldn't have happened to a nicer country really.

Interesting to see why Ecuadors equaliser was not reviewed, the touch was on side and didn’t touch the player offside!! Was he really hampering the keeper being stood where he was?

Yes.

He was stood directly in front of the path of the ball as it went in to the net.

The keeper had already committed to the shot and wouldn't have saved it even if the guy called offside wasn't standing there

Exactly. The guy called offside could not have blocked his view because the keeper couldn't have saved it anyway?

 

[LowMoorBoro]

Was offside for me, stood in keepers line of vision.

 

[Priv]

Its clearly offside, hes stood right infront of the keeper blocking his line of site, wheher he could get to the ball is irrelevent,

 

[TheBoroBuzzard]

Yes, just seen it..keeper was already committed to diving the other way, so wouldn’t have saved it…another VAR failure I’m afraid

The keeper seen it and dived following the ball

its not, thats not a factor, he couldnt see the shot becuase of the offisde player infront of him, hed of had a better view if he wanst there and may of gone the other way as he could of reacted sooner to the strike.

How is he blocking line of site, keeper tracked the ball

 

[LowMoorBoro]

Doesn’t matter he was still stood in an offside position directly in front of keeper. Doesn’t matter if the keeper saw the initial shot or not. Offside for me.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Good game so far. Ecuador unlucky to be behind.

 

[Priv]

How is he blocking line of site, keeper tracked the ball

hes stood less than 2 foot infront of him of course hes effecting his line of site, yes the keeper sees the shot and is diving for it but hes given him more variables to worry about by being so close to him. You cant stand that close infront of the keeper in an offisde position it will always be interfering with play, if hed been at the other side of the goal hed of been fine but he wasnt,

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Now then. Game on.

 

[Priv]

No arguments with that one.

 

[Priv]

How does Ake get a game ahead of Botman, hes good on the ball but is a terrible defender.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Ecuador are battering the Dutch.
