Come on guys, you have to know the off side rule before you can judge the ref.

He got it 100% RIGHT.

The GK was ahead of Vela meaning there would have had to be 2 players for Vela to be onside. Just one and he is offside.

Trust me on this

[Jaug]

The rule is, 1 player or less behind attacker it's offside. Goalie was ahead of line and therefore correct offside.

[colout]

Smogs is right here guys :-)

[Pauulzcappin]

Smogs is right.

[pavyracer]

I have to see the slow motion replay again. Was the goalie ahead of the player receiving the ball when the header was made?

i was lmao at the announcers ... they should know the rules

[hustla]

it was offside

[hustla]

A player is in an offside position if he is in his opponents' half of the field and is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the next to last opponent.

The 2005 edition of the Laws of the Game included a new International Football Association Board decision that stated being "nearer to an opponent's goal line" meant that "any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent (the last opponent typically being the goalkeeper). The arms are not included in this definition."[1] This is taken to mean that any part of the attacking player named in this decision has to be past the part of the second-last defender closest to his goal line (excluding the arms) and past the part of the ball closest to the defenders' goal line.

It is not necessary that the goalkeeper be one of the last two opponents. It should be noted that any attacker that is even with or behind the ball is not in an offside position and may never be sanctioned for an offside offense. Regardless of position, there is no offside offense if a player receives the ball directly from a goal kick, corner kick, or throw-in.

IFAB has clarified in the 2009-2010 Laws of the Game that a player temporarily off the field of play is considered to be ON the boundary line at the point that he crossed over the boundary line.[2]
