UEFA Nations League

Goal should be ruled offside, hes off and its not a new phase ffs

so reading and watching examples of this kind of play, it looks like this is an attacker (mbappe) gaining an advantage due to the ball deflecting off an opponent (garcia):

gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with an opponent when it has:
* rebounded or been deflected off the goalpost, crossbar, match official or an opponent
* been deliberately saved by any opponent

regardless whether it deflected off garcia, it would still be offside, because garcia wasn't deliberately playing the ball. and apparently, a lot of refs call this offside often.

however, it's not offside if the opponent (garcia) deliberately plays the ball:

A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent.

so, the ref must've thought garcia deliberately played the ball. his slide was intended to play the ball, but he never reached it enough to intercept and instead it was deflected, which would make it an offside, in my view.

there should be a clause added in the IFAB that a deliberate play of the ball means the opponent has possession of the ball, so it's not merely the opponent's intention to play the ball, and that way all deflections should be ruled offside

Agree with that take

Spurs got the benefit of similar vs lfc a few years back and it shouldve been tidied up after that

Mbappe is offside and interfering with play its a simple call

love it!

To win the World Cup, according to Paddy Power:

France 11/2
England 13/2
Spain 8/1
Argentina 9/1

Now officially a bigger hiding than 1953!

Worst home defeat since the Wembley Wizards in 1928!

you can't be 2nd favs for the world cup and getting dicked at home by Hungary on a rainy Tuesday night.

omg even though idgaf about this competition, this is hilarious!

Channel 4 showing the England games has been a roaring success I must say.

Southgate was a mediocre to absolute shite flop of a club manager. But failing upwards is the English style, so fair enough. It looks like his lucky run has ended now though.

Stop calling me useless, Southgate tells England fans

Really sticking it to those racist Hungarian fans, great to see
