Why was the Iranian goal chalked out for offside?
In the offside that we all know, the goalkeeper is usually the last man. We are so used to that, we forget the keeper is just a player like any other.
But the rule was never about the goalkeeper.
Law 11 of the IFAB Laws of the Game says a player is in an offside position if "any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent."
The second last opponent. Not the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper is just normally the last man, which is why we picture him there.
Here, the goalkeeper is not the deepest player. This Egyptian defender is. So he becomes the line.
The Iranian attacker is beyond the ball and beyond that defender when the ball is played.
That is why he is offside. Simple.

When bandits kidnapped Abba the popular NYSC guy whose video was trending here, the process of paying his ransom made me believe what Sheikh Gumi is saying. Abba’s aunt took the ransom money to the bandits’ location. She hired a random okada from the roadside who took her to the exact location where the bandits were. On the way, the bike man told her that that particular roadside is a common spot where people are kidnapped. He told Abba’s aunt that his job, and that of other bikers in that area, is to carry people bringing ransom money into the forest to meet the kidnappers. People know them and their locations yet Nigerian army hasn’t paid them a visit. The bandits also have permanent bike riders whose main job is to deliver ransom to them, but our security forces haven’t cooperated with the bikers to ambush & wipe the terrorists. Just like ordinary people have motor parks for traveling, Nigeria has Okada park for delivering ransom money. The kidnapping industry keeps growing before our own eyes. Sheikh Gumi is absolutely right, Nigerian government doesn’t need any intelligence to find these terrorists, they know exactly where and when to find them if they want to.

You fit dey reason life as man, make dey plaster you video call by 11pm
If you no pick - "Oh so you're online and you don't want to talk to me
If you pick, off camera - "Let me see your face or you're not alone"
If you pick and you no flow with the talk - "If you're not in the mood to talk, you could have just said so and not pick up"
God please😭😭
i’ve said this before and i’ll keep saying it. I've got a conviction that the war between cristiano ronaldo and lionel messi is one-sided. 90% of ronaldo's fans, if you ask them when messi last played or when he last scored, they wouldn't be able to answer. But on the other side, 100% of Messi's fans know the finest details about ronaldo.
of course, this is while the rivalry ended on 18/12/22 according to them.

2. You can actually read on the day of the examination and still pass.
3. It’s easier to get an ‘A’ in Mathematics than in English.
4. Most 5- or 6-unit courses are easier than your regular 1- or 2-unit courses.
5. WASSCE is the most difficult examination in the entire education cycle.
One of the bags used to deliver ransom money was found in the kitchen of Seriki Fulani in Ijebu-Ode after a police raid. His son, who was once jailed for kidnapping, returned to kidnapping after he was released, one could assume that he was riding on the influence and protection of his father?
The leader who should call his people to order, given the bad image, the insecurity and the catastrophe that could arise if Yoruba people, who welcomed them with open arms, decide turn against them en mass has members of his very own household actively involved in kidnapping and terrorism. Neighbors, eh?!
As for you, rather than to call the Fulani communities to take this crisis seriously and task them to identify, isolate, and expose the evil ones among them, who are terrorizing people down south, you chose to gaslight the victims with “you have Fulani neighbors”. The son of that Seriki Fulani in Ijebu Ode, is he not someone’s neighbor?
Bravo. 👏 Gaslighter General.
I went to 10am Mass today and it’s just not I’m coming home.
Everything was normal today in church until it was time for Holy Communion. A lady at the front received communion, and suddenly her mouth couldn't close back up. Her jaw was just stuck wide open.
If you still think that fast midget in USA League who has been quiet for over a year now, is the Greatest of all Time, then you are being dishonest and deceiving only yourself.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the Greatest footballer of all time!
