@matzy_ @FenrisDu @TheYankAndLion @ArchysLife @ateAfishstick Definitely a challenge, and the BH player plays the ball before Balogun steps on his ankle. However, in terms of serious four play it’s definitely a borderline case imo, and since the ref didn’t call it on field I don’t think there was enough in it for VAR to intervene.

@19SCazorla One of my favorite players! Congratulations on a fantastic career! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@charles_watts Are you doing a live?

[JPalmdal @JPalmdal]

@DanRiffle If there was no offside teams would simply drop into an extreme low-block as soon as they lost the ball. Pressing high up the pitch, ”squeezing the pitch”, would be pointless as one simple long-ball would undo the entire defensive structure. Would take away tactical decisions.

[JPalmdal @JPalmdal]

@DanRiffle Watching that ebb and flow between attackers trying to penetrate the backline, and the defense keeping a coordinated line is fascinating.

[JPalmdal @JPalmdal]

@MarkGottlieb Exactly, it’s just the nature of the offside rule - regardless of where the line is drawn you’re either onside or offside. VAR only exaggerates that reality. If you want a ”human margin of error”, take away VAR and go back to linesmen calling offsides.

@DiffKnock @charles_watts @charles_watts Yes please!! My two favorite Arsenal channels, please make this happen! 🙏🏼

@PreZnyc621 @krussi34 @AdmiralBear01 My point is that with VAR you’re still gonna have the same argument regardless of what the rule is or if there’s a buffer zone. VAR is still gonna draw lines with a toe either onside or offside. You just move where that line is drawn.

[JPalmdal @JPalmdal]

@krussi34 @AdmiralBear01 So no offsides at all? Do you hold the same opinion for the NFL? Hockey?

[JPalmdal @JPalmdal]

@PreZnyc621 @krussi34 @AdmiralBear01 The thing about creating a ”buffer zone” is that you just move the argument. Are we gonna have VAR to decide if a player is within or outside the buffer zone?

[JPalmdal @JPalmdal]

@EBL2017 Thought Alvarez was gonna be that second difference maker.

@Ankaman616 Gyökeres and Isak carry Sweden to a World Cup bronze à la 1994!

[JPalmdal @JPalmdal]

@firstprince_sam This would be a dream, but impossible:
Tonali
Kvara
Alvarez

By far the most quality out of all listed.
