Nordan Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 He's off when the Belgian plays the ball, I thought that means offside even if the Russian got a 'touch'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Claus Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Yeah, terrible rule if that's an actual rule. Edit: I mean, apparently, if striker is offside and defender intercepts the ball, striker is not allowed to tackle him? But this is allowed to stand?

Lukaku is in huge offside when the ball is crossed, doesn't matter the defender deflected it. He wouldn't have touched it if he knew Lukaku is offside. If the defender makes a deliberate attempt to clear it s not offside Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not deemed a deflection but a deliberate effort to clear the ball. In the latter case, the initial offside situation doesn't count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball is crossed towards Lukaku and he is offside. Defender would never go for it if he knew Lukaku is offside. The mistake shouldn't even be possible to happen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astafjevs Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Can't believe I'm actually agreeing. But they do need to change the rule. The defender makes a play because Lukaku is in an offside position. Striker shouldn't benefit from being offside like that. It's like that Lovren-Kane incident at Anfield a few years ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

av3ry Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Not surprise Yuri Zhirkov is 38. I actually thought he was born in the 70s and was very old when he played for Chelsea all that time ago.
