The United States needs a win to advance to the next round of the FIFA World Cup. Christian Pulisic gave the US the lead via a Sergino Dest assist in the 38th minute, before he was forced out due to injury at half time.

Clear offside. Don’t know why American fans are crying. Great video!
Big mistake,
What a great player that is! “weah”
So how'd the CGI image get Weahs entire knee sticking way out offsides from this image??? That VAR system is BS
These lines don’t even make sense… the horizontal line should be in the front of the defender’s body, not behind him.
They didn't us var and the arm does count and has counted in other matches
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Horrible call. You can tell by the way the grass is mowed on the pitch he’s onside… pretty suspicious how they showed exactly one replay the entirety of the match too.
Dude what angle you looking from. Just use the lines cut in the grass and you will see he wasn’t offsides
I don’t think it was offiside, they’re full of shit, why they don’t show when the ball was hit at the same time??? They can always show a little avatar of when the guy is just ahead by an inch just to make people believe and to justify their call, they should show the actual play and when the ball was released then I would see for myself if it’s offside or not…..
This system has huge gaps in it. This angle doesn't prove anything. I think FIFA heads are invested in this technology so no one can question it.
Dez caught it
Good video. Ill relax now
Horrendous call. Horrendous video. Look at the lines in the grass. He’s on. Period.
WTF are you talking about? Did FIFA pay you for this?
Those grass lines make it clear that he was onside. Iran player is even stepping on the (grass color change) line with his right foot while the US players's foot is 2 feet away from that line.
Pretty wack video here tbh you can see by the line of the grass he’s behind the Eronian defender
0:21 and freeze. IT WAS THE SHITTIEST CALL 📞 EVER SO FAR THIS WC 2022
horse shit. you can't tell from that angle, and the VAR was never shown. That VAR tech you're showing is not verified. This is controversy. Proper VAR should have been shown and play should not have continued until that review was complete. That's the standard that's been set through rules and precedence in this WC
He was absolutely onside. Terrible call. Shame they didn’t review it. Thank God it didn’t matter.
Lol why is the sideline diagonal in this image?
Lmao at Americans being frustrated by anything more tech advanced than two dudes and a chain
in my opinion, both American goals were offside.
He wasn’t “well offside”. These “computer assisted” offsides calls are making the game terrible to watch.
He's offside, but just barely. Even using the cut of the grass. his left foot is ~18" behind the cut line, but, he's leaning forward at about a 10-15° angle, putting his torso over or right above the line. The defender's back foot is on the front of the line, and he's leaning the other direction about 10°. The VAR shows this exactly, if you base it on that. Honestly, in the heat of the moment, I can't believe the side referee actually had the balls to call it, unless he's got an agenda. I've seen plenty of worse offsides never called. You live by VAR and die by VAR. Luckily, the one goal stood up.
Offsides was invented to keep guys from just parking inside the box and cherry-picking goals at will without having to run. The initial reasoning for the rule was a great one for the game. That said, these microscopic measurements of what is or isnt offsides do more to hurt the game than help it with today's technological assistance (Basically eliminated the Linesman's job too btw). I don't think it's clear cut based on the grass on the field, and the angles we do have available, that Weah was offsides. And even if he was a half kneecap's worth off, it took away an amazing run and goal, while rewarding bad defending. Again, if half his body were offside, then you could blame him for not timing his run, but this instance was not the case, and not why the initial rule was created
Is it true that arms aren’t counted as part of onside/offside?
Fixed game no doubt.
The offsides tech is flawed. Takes 2 sets of replays to get it right and they use one, on the 2nd more obvious part. The part they have no tech for is when the ball leaves the passing players foot. You can't just look at 1/2 of an offsides call.

I don't understand. You can't have a "breakaway" in soccer? You have to have a defender in front of you? This game stinks. Give me ice hockey!
