Croatia v Belgium, Canada v Morocco - Thu 1st Dec, 15:00 | Group F | World Cup 2022

Mertens has been awful thus far.

 

[domalino]

If the guy challenging for the first header was offside, then that is a factual offside.

Taylor didn’t need to look at it.

He does, because it's only offside if the offside player interferes with play or becomes active.

It's a subjective call, not a black and white one like a pass, so it's not for the automatic system.

 

[youngbob]

What a load of nonsense that was. VAR needs huge changes.

 

[blue whippet]

He isnt interfering in play though when the fk is taken? How can he be offside?

I don't understand this either

 

[Dirty Harry]

Looking at that then it looked level, complete shit show that !

 

[City Hobgoblin]

That graphic proves nothing

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Mertens is absolutely shite. Total liability.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He does, because it's only offside if the offside player interferes with play or becomes active.

He challenged for the ball. It wasn’t the same as yesterday.

 

[Jam Tomorrow]

wtf is going on, ref on the pitch now being asked to confirm offside?

 

[Corky]

This strict liability offside afters defenders have played it twice is getting daft.
