The Chilean players are still offsides, even after the deflection from the Alianza defender. The controversy is about whether the two players are participating in the play and the indecision between the linesman and the referee.
A clear example of blocking the goalie's view, therefore participating in the play: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtOpbvSux-U"]YouTube- Botafogo 3 x 2 Fluminense - Melhores Momentos - Semifinal Taça Rio 2010[/ame] Watch from 3:15.
Exactly. Watch at the 3:09 mark of the video you poster first: Seymour's shot is direct to the goal, with no Chilean player covering the view. One of them, however, is jumping to head the ball in. THAT would have been an offside call. But Gonzalez got in the way on purpose and tried to deflect the ball for a corner. Then he took that Chilean player out of the picture, and it was NOT offside any more.
i dont think CHELSEA FANS will agree with you on that [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSy1gLEHR_k"]YouTube- UEFA - Chelsea vs Barcelona - Referee Highlights[/ame]
The last goal can be analyzed, opinionated upon and debated to the death, just like (admittedly) our first goal but you can't take anything away from the meritos of this match between both sides...except for the facts that our GK Forsyth is a mental muppet and that pissant of a referee is a spineless twat. Oh, and that Francis needs some pu$$y bad to relieve that boiling hate.
true mengao, in europe yhou dont get riots inside the stadiums like we do in southamerica! the passion is way bigger and the fans are way better.
Watch the second goal Bayern scored against Fiorentina in the R16 this year. At some point he was 5' offside. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6CEgeiHuWY"]YouTube- Bayern München - Florenz: Klose trifft zum 2-1 (Abseitstor)[/ame]
Yeah, instead you got snooze fests and get to watch the crowd stay seated and quiet. Not to mention all the drunken "hooligans" looking for fights after the game and streakers running across the field during the finals for entertainment.
Maybe that would be possible in SA, but in Europe, you are stuck with this http://www.thestreaker.org.uk/streaks/championsleague2002/clf2002.htm
