[ajw10]

definite offside 

[Haguey]

Oh Gnabry, got to make more effort to get back onside.

[georginho_juventusygr]

It was a fantastic finish by Gosens.

[Darius1998]

Pressing well so far.

[CFuller]

Peter Walton whenever a goal goes to VAR.

[TM]

god sake, does Dixon even like football? sounds like he's being tortured to talk about it

[Haguey]

Now really lino, you can flag for that.

[skybluedave]

Portugal all over the place at the back

[EnterUsernameHere]

Germany easily on top so far.

[Tikka Mezzala]

Germany seem up for the occasion. Hope they keep it up. 

[ajw10]

this is set up for a Portugal opener

I'm actually thinking the same. You see it so often. 

[Darius1998]

Gosens and Kimmich getting forward a lot more than in the first game.

Ginter too occasionally.

[john1]

Where is Mario Gomez when they need him  

[skybluedave]

Who the heck was Patricio booting that to then? 

[john1]

RONALDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[grff]

Wow!

[DJ]

Jammy barstewards

[EnterUsernameHere]

After all that...

[CFuller]

Incisive.

[GunmaN1905]

Well, that was expected.

[Darius1998]

Of course.

[Pompeyboyz]

oh my....totally against the run of play

[georginho_juventusygr]

CRISTIANO RONALDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[john1]

Offside?

[TM]

Superb counter from Portugal. 

That was coming.

Yeah is Ronaldo not offside when the ball is played first?

Yep. They are just good on the counter

[Tikka Mezzala]

Great pass, great run from Bernardo Silva, and very unselfish. Of course Ronaldo is in place to finish it. 

Game on!

[Haguey]

Hah, not offside. Germans deserve that for awful defending though. Good counter.

Portugal will stifle this game and sit back even more now.

[BigV]

Beautiful goal, portugal are set up for teams to attack them

I meant Jota... He looks tad offside when the pass was going to him.

Probably the worst goal for the game because of it.

[Wiggins Top Boys]

I know the rules changed a long time ago but it still is grating to see Ronaldo basically offside when the first pass comes in which allows him to be in a better position for the 2nd pass.

[Haguey]

Some left foot on Gosens, every big club should be looking at him (though I hope he stays at Atalanta)

[TM]

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his 19th goal at the World Cup and European Championships combined; no European player has ever scored more across the two competitions (level with Miroslav Klose)

just a ridiculous scoring record at the highest level

He was well onside. Ronaldo was off on the first pass, but the ball went to Jota.

[craigcwwe]

Patricio's kicking/passing had been awful.

Fair enough, i hadn't realised the rule had changed. Always thought you were considered to be gaining an advantage if you're offside on the break like that - isn't he only ahead of the defence by being offside on the previous pass? How is that not considered to be gaining an advantage on the previous pass? Not sure I agree with the rule change but I guess you have to adapt 

[skybluedave]

Ronaldo  Not sure why he needed to do a no loak there. Rudiger was following the ball

I guess he's quite limited in that he's not a proper left back, so would be ideal for anyone that plays with a back 3

Best LWB, no question.

He's making 800k€ per year, btw.

Law 11 - Offside (thefa.com)

The rules have changed a bit over time

It's been like this for ages. RvN and Henry used to take advantage of this all the time. It's all about phases of play. Bernardo to Jota is the first phase, Jota to Ronaldo is the second
