The ball is almost never placed on the endline. If the attacker decides to stand on the goalline and the defender push forward on the play the attacker can be caught offside. Of course it almost never happens. I'm just clearing up a misconception.

 

Touche. My bad. I'm dissapearing now

 

No, this game's got 0 - 0 written all over it.

 

But YOU are the one wrong there. Read the effing Law 11:

"No offence
There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:
• a goal kick
• a throw-in
• a corner kick"​

Because at the time a corner kick is taken, ALL players are even or behind the ball, so none of them can be in an office position.

EDIT: I see you've acknowledged the mistake. Kudos.

 

So what? they can score even 10 goals, they have been outclassed in the first half and can thank referee not to have 0-2 as they came back in locker room...Mexico has to score 3 times in a row to score first.

 

The rules say you can't be offside after a corner kick (or throw-in or goal kick for that matter, basically every time the ball enters play after it was outside the field). You can only be offside if the ball is played again after the corner kick/throw-in/goal kick.

Edit: I am too late here.

 

I feel that there's a conspiracy for neither team to win; whether it was because of what happened to Croatia where they want to give them a fair shot, or just make Brazil have a wider margin for no team to threaten it....

 

thought the same

 

Tough call; would you call that a Yellow? I know he didn't make contact with the ball, but he just stood there.

 

Imagine if cameroon win with an offside goal.

 

Well that would keep people assuming that we're after revenge after 1990.

 

Justice!

 

Should be 3-0 Mexico destroys Cameroon

 

Goal for Mexico and not disallowed~

 

Get in there!!!

 

Wow Mexico wasted a good chance with that bad touch. And glad the ref did not give a penalty to Cameroon.

 

Mexico toys with Cameroon

 

Confirmation, Goal line technology agrees, it was a goal

 

Lazy defending on Cameroon.

 

Well, I was a little sceptical as to whether or not that ball crossed the line.....thanks to the goal technology graphic...I can now sleep soundly.

 

I think that they're just trying to show off lol.

 

Now Cameroon is just losing it and getting frustrated.

 

Cameroon look like crap, no offensive thought at all

 

Did Ochoa save anything?

 

This is basically the game that both Cameroon or Mexico had to win to have any chance to go advance. A tie for both would basically be a disaster.
