He had no foot on the ground in an offside position
His only grounded foot wasn't even level with defender, it was further onside.

It doesn't matter. The rule on offside clearly states any part of the head, feet or body.

See page 100 of the laws of the game.

It's still debatable if any part of his body was actually ahead of the defenders rear foot, but when it's that tight I don't dwell on the decision.

He looked a mile offside in real time though.

France looked so uninterested, it nearly beggared belief. Fair play to the Mexicans. Neat and tidy with a bit of fire in their belly. Looked a bit toothless upfront for a lot of the game but got there in the end.

Actually lads, Dunphy (in his ignorance) is right. The feet are clearly level, however Hernandez is leaning forward and Gallas is leaning in the opposite direction meaning Hernandez's head (and right shoulder) is in an offside position. Remember, it's not just the feet, it's any part of the body that be used to score that's taken into consideration.

Not one single part of his body he can score from was ahead of Abidal/Gallas's foot. That's the rule.

He was onside.

Only his left arm was in front of Gallas's foot, so he cannot score with that.

This French team have absolutely no spirit, and South Africa, being the hosts, won't by any means roll over in this match!

Bill O' Herlihy had a smirk that could kill a cat when he said at the end of the program.
While summing up and commenting on France most likely exit from the World Cup. he finishes of and says:
"What goes around comes around"
Here, Here

Bit ironic that Pizza Hut are doing the offer and they are one of the few pizza places with no mexican pizza (domino's mexican sizzler, mizzonis mexican special)

It was the way it came.

Was nice all the same.

The goal was clearly offside going by the rule. Only his feet were level.

Yet, you can't blame the linesman. It's too tough a decision either way, but the advantage is meant to go to the attacker so there's no karma or justice there, just bad French defending!!

Bad for the World Cup that Mexico victory, Almost defo spells the end for South Africa and that can't be good for already dodgy attendances and crowds. Struggle to see the South Africans going on mass to second round games when they are out of the whole thing.

According to that still we kept seening on rte Hernandez's leading foot was less than a foot behind Gallas' trailing foot. Hernandez body was leaning forward at something approaching a 60 angle... the upper half of his torso had to be offside if that were the case.

Well, they ain't going to the games now anyway so it's not gonna make a difference at all.

Personally, i'm delighted they are pretty much out. They are sh!te. And hopefully those vevezulas will become less of an influence. I actually detected some singing and an atmosphere from tonights Mexican/Cheats match.

They are going alot more than may seem, if it was just French and Mexicans tonight you could probably take 8-9 000 of the Attendance.

Best bit of the night were the lucha masks in the crowd.

Delighted France lost, not particularly because of all that vaguely cringe-worthy Henry rubbish, but beause they deserved nothing for their appalling attitude all night. They really didn't give a toss out there and showed no pride whatsoever in their country and jersey. Shameful, spineless stuff. The biggest effort they made all night was trying to f*ck with Blanco's head before the penalty. Shambolic stuff, Mexico thoroughly deserved their win.

But Flah, that is what wrecks my head about that night in Paris. Remember Duff and Andrews in tears. Dunne on the floor as that idiot Henry tries to claw some ounce on intergrity back by sitting beside him. Given running right up to the fans.

We wanted to be there. The French don't give a f*ck. Their attitude is disgraceful. They just can't wait to get to the beach. We'd have made an impact. The French are just a pre-diarrhoea fart!!

Don't think many people, including me, who can watch the games from our houses are gonna care much about attendance levels.

Theres no guarantee Ireland would have scored again in Paris anyway. All ifs and buts.

If they hadn't played so defensively against Bulgaria and others they wouldn't have needed the play off route.

Time to get over it tbh.

But we never will, 'cos we love a good moan and the Joe Duffy worshipping "hyuck hyuck durr" brigade love to bang on about it ad nauseum no matter how pathetic it makes us look.

Surely less South Africans at games is a good thing, as that will mean less of that headache inducing s**t of a vuevuezela.

I don't give a f*ck about wonky leg Duffy. If we had been beaten on penos, at least that would have been an end to it!! We'd have known.

France have been a disgrace in this tournament. They have brought nothing to the table. Nothing. Waste of space!!

Was the Hernadez goal offside or what????

The french team hate their manager. A new manager appointed before world cup. No need to impress or listen to this manager. But for the love of god have a bit of pride in the way you play and in your country!

Yes, I think it was. But the doubt should go in the striker's favour!

Great thing about Blanc is he won't take much s*it, and can say to any Big Time Charlies in the squad: "World Cup, European Championship -i've been there and done that, now you do it!"

France will come back stronger for the next European Championships!

pickarooney

It's **** or bust with French sides
82 - semis
86 - semis
90 - DNQ
94 - DNQ
98 - DNQ/Winners
02 - bombed out
06 - Final
10 - bombed out

Whatever happened to scraping through the group and a plucky defeat in the last 16?

Common theme seems to be when their number 10 shows up, so do the rest of the team.

Disagree he was on. His foot was inline with the defender.
