"I think it's onside"
The pair of them tonight.
Still time left. Come on we can get the equaliser
Half a boot 
Feck off man that was a good 2 feet
Feck off man that was a good 2 feet
Oh well... offside
I guess that would be about like repeatedly singing God Save the Queen.Have to admit, maybe just singing the Team America World Police song would be easier and more apt
Looked tight, but the right call
1. They couldn't beat Panama to qualify for the last world cup. Huge improvement, I am overawed.
2. Maybe.
3. Someone literally said that in this thread. And you could predict almost any large country to win a world cup 'eventually'.
4. Maybe it will .. who knows? It's not ingrained in US culture like it is in Europe/South America, where football is king.
So bored of hearing from Americans 'we'll be a superpower at football soon!', sorry. Been happening forever. Actually do it.
Has never applied to offsides....
He actually claimed it.
oh my VAR, so sick of this shit
VAR can do one
USA are seriously rattled here. England could still get this.
Wasn't VAR introduced to be used lightly to overturn obvious wrong decisions? Why is it used 20x a game for mm decisions?
I mean, we could say that about England since 1966...
I dislike Var if I'm being honest, games becoming a game of tiny margins rather than actual moments. The random handballs are the worst.
He doesn't like his feck ups being pointed out. A bit precious.
Yeah, it's bollocks.
I think that's a stupid policy anyway. Offside is offside, every goal should be checked for that as a matter of course.
Goal was rightly overturned .. even though it sucks.
THIS
USA soccer is on the rise has been said for years and years and they never look any better.
Just my 2 cents, the US men's team will not a World Cup in this century. They are too far off and other bigger teams would need to get significantly weaker
When else was it used in this game?
Looks a fraction offside but their lines on the replay are completely wrong.
I think they need to get rid of VAR for offside unless it’s completely obviously like a yard or something. Where’s the benefit for the striker these days?

It was clearly offside though, would you actually rather teams score offside goals?
Yet again a completely marginal call. VAR needs a 30cm margin of error, unless the cameras are perfectly in line it is still a guesstimate.
No it wasn't.
Oh yeah.
But is football going to var check all goals going forward then? Can't be a refs call as never in line and as that call shows, you can't trust a linesperson especially given the speed the game is played at.
(Ps. I renemember hearing something interesting on Talksport (honest) where a guy said WHEN do you pause it as a ball can touch a players foot for fractionS of a second).
Am I imagining things or was there something about “has to be daylight between attacker & defender” in the offside rule once upon a time?
Yeah I don't get the complaints, that was offside.
Haha, so true. At least the US has won international tournaments since then
Yeah the prestigious Gold Cup.
Benefit for the striker should be when a ref watches in real time and isn't sure. It loses all meaning when you have VAR. You can't expect benefit for a striker that's offside on the evidence of VAR.
Most England fans know we're pretty shit, actually.
Will we get better? Hopefully, maybe. Some good signs in the youth teams where we actually won stuff, but it doesn't mean shit till the seniors actually improve.
VAR will change the game so much & for the worse.
With these freeze frames how do you know EXACTLY when the ball is played?

No, it's correct, it just disallows a lot of goals nowadays for being a boot's distance offside. Then you have the handballs that get slowed down to become penalties. Makes the game more boring imo.
Nope.
Truly the one everyone wished they had.
Nah, the Murica f**k yeah! part has a bit more umph about it.
