Started reading Suicidal empathy by @GadSaad. Such an impactful topic written in a simple and clear language. Couldn’t put it down even during the France vs Paraguay match today.
The controversial offside in Iran’s game clarified my offside understanding even more. Offside is called when a player is ahead of the second last defender from opposition team.
@fiaz1899 Agreed, but it is crazy how the goal keeper does not have any plan to address the wide open gap left for messi to explore. Its almost like the gap was left open intentionally.
Soccer experts, why does the referee wait until the striker scores a goal and then gives offside? I feel referee has ample time to give offside as soon as he sees it.
