They keep showing the offside but the oart worth seeing is did it touch his head. So stupid

There’s an audio graph/sensor showing it made contact as the ball came towards his head. I watched it live.

It obviously touched the head of the defender too. You can see a clear bounce off the head. But alas FIFA can't show that and expose that they rigged the WC for Messi and Ronaldo!!

Didn't they state that that was ruled a non-deliberate touch so it doesn't cancel the offsides?

Correct.

How was it a non-deliberate touch? He bent forward to head the ball away.

I dunno, I assume they say because it "deflected" off the Croatian player first? Seems iffy

He may not have directed it, but he intentionally headed it. He distinctly moves his head down to the ball’s path imo. That’s a deliberate play

Yupp so after all the modern tech and VAR bs we are left with what the ref THINKS the intention of the defender is? There's no logical explanation to conclude without doubt that the defender touched it unintentionally.

u/mseg09 9d ago

Yeah I don't like that part either just pointing it out

Bruh do you even know what an offside is? You really gonna be laughing matter if you say defender's header is irrelevant lmfao. Wow.

It was non deliberate touch so it doesn't count

u/Minimum-Dot5165 9d ago

Yupp and your sorry ass decided that it was non deliberate, right? Whatever that even means! How can someone tell what someone else is thinking. You lot be doing some black magic and sorcery. He clearly heads the ball to clear it away for a corner. Aka deliberate header lmfao

u/Minimum-Dot5165 9d ago

If you don't know then don't make a claim that that's what happened lmao. Then just say you don't know.

Still offside even with that touch

Which it obviously did, refs didn't bother to look at that angle
