might as well get LS Lowry to knock a quick painting up to show the offside

as I said, the keeper punched the ball onto the Ecuadurian's head (this angle shows it without any doubt whatsoever) and the ball went to the nearby Ecuadurian's feet who was in an offside position.

Why not? The sensors detects every time the vector of the ball changes so yes it detects ricochets to within thousandths of a second. It will have told the referee there were multiple touches of the ball in a certain space of time. All the ref does is confirm who touched it and whether the offside player is active in the play. It was clear in this instance the keeper punched it on to the Ecuador players head so the last touch was his.

Got it. Thanks. I’m convinced now that VAR was right for once. Well spotted, my old eyes didn’t see it well.
 
I'll be honest, this world famous El Classico between (*checks notes...) Ecuador and Qatar is a bit overrated isn't it?

Whilst thoroughly enchanted by the game my mind wandered off briefly.
I had the thought that if you mash the two countries names together you get 'Ecuatar' which sounds like a [yet another] new Disney+ Star Wars series.

I've seen this alternate image on Twitter which I think cleared up any residual doubt for me. People saying it didn't show the keeper or the ball in the CGI graphic... it's because they weren't relevant to the decision, the guy who was offside is definitely ahead of both of them.

Qatar versus Ecuador.
I want to know why these countries pronounce their names as if they had swapped their Q and C.
It sounds like it should be Catar versus Equador.

Any spelling experts available tonight?
 
This game just produced another example of why we should get rid of VAR.

Someone has spent far too much time trying to find a reason to chalk that goal off. That's not what it should be for and it's absolutely killing the game. It takes too long and it's just finding reasons - pathetic, minute reasons - for ruling goals out. You cannot cheer a goal now without someone trying to find a reason to rule it out.

I think Qatar must be the worst team I've seen in a WC and they managed to make the basics look difficult!

Got to be said as well, the crowd going home didn't help either!
