Kane is gonna be another rooney. great in easy qualifiers but shite in tournaments.

 

[magneze]

Henderson on eh?

 

[tommers]

Rice off?!? Fuck you.

 

[two sheds]

You think right. It's when the ball leaves the boot.

[campanula]

[magneze]

Boiled over

 

[Lord Camomile]

Give DCL a run out FFS

Would def like to see this.

I mean, again, and I know there were penalties and freak deflections involved, but he did win the golden boot at the last world cup!

 

[Rebelda]

but what @strungout said too I think

Probably

 

[campanula]

well, if Henderson sets up Kane....

 

[Badgers]

Rice off

Hendo (Captain of a PL and CL winning team)?!!? Fuck you.

 

[tommers]

I've lost all interest now.

 

[campanula]

nooooo backwards

 

[campanula]

Walker

 

[campanula]

Pickford has been solid

 

[two sheds]

Grielish looks energetic though

 

[Steel Icarus]

I think right now we'd get well beaten by Italy, Belgium and France, struggle against Holland and Germany but might overcome them, and likely beat everyone else.

 

[campanula]

ffs

 

[strung out]

I've lost all interest now.

Like me and Finland when I realised they weren't going to bring on their third choice keeper who plays for Bristol Rovers.

 

[Athos]

If a player is in an offside position when the ball is last touched by a teammate, then it's offside if he subsequently gains an advantage by playing a ball deflected off an opponent. The exception being where it was a deliberate action by the opposition player (other than a save).

But he's not in an offside position if he's not interfering with play?

 

[campanula]

Would like to see CL (have never seen Rashford head the ball)

 

[campanula]

Kane off at 60 minutes, pls,

 

[Athos]

He is in an offside position, albeit it's not an offside offence until he interferes.

Per Law 11:

'1. Offside position
It is not an offence to be in an offside position.
A player is in an offside position if:
• any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
• 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 hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. For the purposes of determining offside, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit.
A player is not in an offside position if level with the
• second-last opponent
• last two opponents'

 

[rubbershoes]

David Luiz coming on for the Czechs

 

[Badgers]

So if attacker's in an offside position but not interfering with play when the ball's played and an opposing defender touches the ball attacker's not in an offside position any more, and can interfere as much as he or she likes

/discussing the offside rule

 

[Badgers]
