    Soccer Gurus, Why was Uruguay not Offsides on the Winning Goal?

    Looked like Suarez was already behind the defense when the pass was delivered?

    Because it was an england player who headed it and it ran to him.

    To be offside it would have to be a team mate passing to him

    Suarez would have been offside only if when the goalie kicked off he was ahead of the uruguay players

    Yeah I got it. I didn't notice that it went off of the English player.
