Exactly.. talking rubbish about the decline of the great footballing powers.. just look at the semi-final line-up.

Yeah, but you gotta love him including England in that list. Since when have they been a World Power....1966?

Dutch caught offside 11 times. That's just crazy.

Uruguay got caught 6x
Italy 11x
England 1x
Greece 10x

It is really Costa Rica operating a very good off side trap

And unsurprising miraculous recovery once the ball was kicked out.

Does RVP understand the off side rule at all ?

It's Costa Rica's defensive high line. It never works you know.

How's that a free kick????

how the fk is that a free kick

Technical question....what is the definition of an offside position if the head and torso are leaning forward and jut into an offside position but both feet are behind/in line with the defender? Just having a "debate" with my brother. Neither of us are certain but my gut feeling is that they are onside, but he says offside.

AllGunsBlazing

Never handball.

I'm sure Danny Murphy is a nice chap but how the hell does he get a job at the Beeb.

Lapin

Costa playing down the clock now.

Deserved to come to nothing- never a free kick

Italy had 11 offsides in 90 mins vs Costa Rica.

On offside. Remember Andy Grey and Sky going on about 'daylight' between the striker and the last man?

Any part of the body you can score a goal with is deemed offside.

Offside. A part of the attackers body that they can legitimately score with is ahead of the defender.

Its offside because you can score with your head.

My football playing nephew said any part of the body he can score with counts as offside

I would say offside as the head and torso indicates forward momentum putting him ahead of the defender, but I'm talking out of my hole so don't quote me on that.

That's the "Sky" rule.

If any part of the body you can score with is offside, then you're offside.

Edit - think he knows now!

Offside. If any part of the body that's eligible to touch the ball is past the defender it's offside. If there's an arm past the defender it's onside.

Come on penos!

I didn't think it was actually the rule. Just still amazed at how stupid that was.

Why wait until extra time to make changes?
Are they playing for extra time?
Would love to to see a costa Rican goal and see what the Dutch are made of.

That was never a penalty you BBc lot.

JONJO THE MISER

This is so tense.

Turtyturd

Is it heading towards penalties?

Clearly it is unless someone scores.

Yep on now, should have happened earlier

Van Gaal looking quite happy with life.

Costa Rica to win on penalties.

A Primal Nut

If there is one rule I'd like to ee changed it's kicking the ball out of play because an opponent is injured. If a player goes down injured...tough. A team shouldn't have to interrupt their attack because an opponent player is injured. Ruiz pretended he was injured there so Netherland would have to stop their attack. As soon as the dutch player hit the ball out he was up, not a bother on him. Another possible change would be that if the ball goes out of of play because a player is injured he should have to prove he was injured by staying off the pitch for the next five minutes.
