I would've given it. It's the kind of shambles you should be punished for.

Do I not understand the offside rule? Why was that supposedly offside with a defender behind Benzema?
Because there has to be 2 defensive players and he's beyond the Goalie.Originally Posted by Yevrah
Defender was acting as the keeper.
He was behind the goalkeeper
You misunderstand me. This is not a sport that should be stopped for 3 minutes while people look at video replays.
If you're behind the goalkeeper you have to be level with 2 outfield players.
'Mon now Yev...
At least Yev got his answer
Genuinely never knew that was the rule. It sounds like a very stupid one on face value.
Unless I’m missing something, that makes abort as much sense as not being allowed to shoot backwards in pool.
You can't be offside in your own half, too. I learned that the other day.
You always have to have 2 defenders playing you onside, it's just the keeper counts as 1 of them in 99.9% of occasions.
As for the game, Livepool clearly a superior team but fancy Real to win it.
I knew that one.
In Yev world then no-one would ever be offside. You could just stand in front of the keeper all day. That's why it's 2 players. Ignore Spikey using the world outfield. It's just 2 players.
Rather than having this goalkeeper/outfield player distinction, just think of it as "you have to be covered by 2 opposition players".
2022 and people still don't understand the offside law. Outstanding effort.
Or in my World the keeper should be irrelevant and it should just be one outfield player.
Cheers for clarifying the prior explanations though Phonics and Browning.
In which case he would be offside.it’s not like a goalie is going to get involved in playing the offside trap.
Edit: oh I see what you mean. My bad.
I'm actually stunned. No more football opinions from Yev or Shindig until they've got their badges or something.
The initial iteration back in the days of yore was three players even, if memory serves me well.
To be fair, how many times does the beyond the keeper/inside your own half come up?
Good shit.
Can't be offside from a goal kick (remember Klose in whatever dreadful world Cup debacle the Lampard non-goal was) either for the didn't know that rules chumps. Offside rule is a doozy when you really get into it though.
The in your own half one comes up alot. Especially if you've ever played a game of football.
I remember not being able to pick up the ball from a throw-in sending ripples through our U-11s team.
Good shit.

My bad for not knowing it but the rule is a crap one. There’s no unfair advantage been gained by Benzema there so it’s pretty dumb for that goal to be against the rules.
Have you watched any football?
There's no unfair advantage to your foot being a mm ahead of someone elses when you're facing the other way but them's the rules.
Yeah, they need to change that too.

Still makes me laugh.
When's the last time you saw someone score inside their own half with no defenders behind them? I didn't know it was a rule because it rarely gets triggered. Even in that Vertonghen example, there's a defender back.
You don't have to score from in your own half. You have to receive the ball in your own half.
Yeah it actually happens somewhat often. Maybe not in actual goals, but a lot of counter attacks from corners happen that way.
Has Shindig suffered a head injury recently?
Receiving the ball in your half and running on happens a lot in counter attacks from corners.
"Vini"
This has got a Real smash and grab written all over it.
Get in.
And there it is.
This Madrid team are great. They play what Ole Gunnar Binman thought he was seeing.
Was always going to happen. Liverpool have been impotent up front.
Liverpool haven’t done anything since the 30th minute. Hardly a smash and grab.
‘Trent’
Aye but there's usually defenders back. I never bring the offside rule (or the exception to it) into it. I've never looked at those situations and thought, "Oh, where's the flag." Anyway, I'll take the L. As will Liverpool.
It's usually on those last minute corners where the opposition needs a goal that this particular situation occurs.
You dont have to receive the ball in your half. You have to be in your own half when the ball is played. Imagine the halfway line is the line they draw for VAR.
Pretty sure Torres in 2012 is a prime example of this discussion. 99% sure he is in his own half, behind the last outfield player but in his own half when the ball his played. He then takes his first touch in the Barcelona half IIRC after chasing down the hoof.
How come the Liverpool end of the ground doesn't have any stairwells?
Courtois is insane
I'm a twit
Playing modern high-level football can't be enjoyable at all.
