Opening match just kicked off between Qatar and Ecuador.....

That was a valid goal from Ecuador and should not have been ruled out as off side!

There wasn't even a foul!

I have no idea whether it was offside or not because I don't know what that means

However my husband is normally quite spot on with these kind of things and even the commentators said they couldn't see anything.

On my thread yesterday somebody predicted this would happen and we all thought they were being conspiratorial not so sure now!

If that goal wasn't offside it was definitely a foul if it wasn't a foul it was definitely LBW

Plenty of time yet. The new half time panel that has just been established is likely to retrospectively disallow the penalty because the taker didn't take a minimum of 5 steps before kicking the ball and the header will be cancelled because of the new rule stating a goal can only be scored with feet....

So basically no different to any other club game every week on TV, blowhard comms and co comms calling something as if they actually can see it...until the TV producer gets fed the VAR confirmation showing the line. Then everyone goes 'oh yeah it was offside'. Which is exactly what happened here as well.

VAR is pretty crap but the offside bit of it actually works. It's either offside or it isn't.

No it doesn't! I think you need to look at when VAR is used. VAR will be used only for “clear and obvious errors” or “serious missed incidents” in four match-changing situations: goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity.

It was from the challenge on the keeper and not the free kick.

Michael Estrada’s right boot was offside after the ball came off Felix Torres, who was challenging Qatar goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb.

That's never been the rule. It's always been the home team that gets the 1st match.

They changed that in 2006 as the previous winners no longer qualify automatically. So they made it that the hosts have the first game.

from what I saw....

Free kick came in

Playwe A challenged the keeper. The keeper punched against players A head and eventually bounced up to be headed by player B. b was offside at point of ball being punched against As head.

We need to reintroduce the need for clear daylight before a player is offside. A big toe being in front of an opponent is not gaining an advantage.

The guidelines for when VAR use is very clear and yes I watched it. It was hardly a clear and obvious error!

To adjudicate offside when a goal is scored? It's how it's been used in the prem since it was introduced.... I mean its rubbish but that's not the point.

VAR is used only for "clear and obvious errors" or "serious missed incidents" in four match-changing situations: goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity.

That is what FIFA's own guildlines are. The idea behind VAR Was to be a 4th official, It was never meant to check to see whether someone's toe was offside and to check every single goal.

Not sure how much football you watch but var has always been used to check every goal hence why sometimes players don’t even celebrate after they score just incase their hip or something else just as ridiculous is offside.Goals are classed as a match changing situation for obvious reasons and that’s why every goal has always been checked.

But it was a clear and obvious error. His foot was offside, his foot is a part of his body with which he can legally score, so therefore he is deemed offside.

Thats exactly what VAR was introduced for

Whether or not that was what it was intended to be used for isn't really relevant. The argument in this thread has developed from strongly saying it was not offside and implications of corruption to... Oh it was offside after all.

The whys and wherefore of VAR could probably fill another thread or two.

with the introduction of this semi automated offside tech it's definitely now part of the overall var scope..

Imo, offside is largely binary. You are in an offside position or you aren't. And somif you are in an off-site position, and play the ball, that's an infingement. And it's serious if it leads to a goal. Otherwise you either ignore offside mistakes completely. Or have to draw another line somewhere.

It's like saying ball was only just all over the line, so let's take the refs decision and not give it.

I'm sure it will be the subject of much debate. I can remember when they first introduced it at the world Cup and it went so well... Stopping all that wrestling in the box (oo err missus) at corners and free kicks.

Have a look at the fifa website... Technical section for details of where var is used and how semi automated offside technology is used. If you're interested of course. Otherwise pull up a chair and shout at the TV about how we know better than the people who've invested their lives in training and officiating elite football.

Where ever I lay my hat

One love arm bands will result in a booking for the captain. The countries should have stuck together and taken on Fifa. But Qatat hold all the power, they cancelled beer at the last minute because they could and are now banning support for inclusion. And Fifa can do nothing but be complicit because they are responsible for being their. Seeing countries so weak is hardly surprising either. Anyhow, enough of the politics and come on England.

Our own fa's rules say the following...

"5. Slogans, statements, images and advertising

Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images. Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer's logo. For any offence the player and/or the team will be sanctioned by the competition organiser, national football association or by FIFA."

And fifa have the same...

They are FIFA's rules being applied aren't they?
