How is classing that as offside beneficial to the sport in any way, shape or form?

The offside rule clearly doesn't mesh well with the introduction of millimeter precise VAR replays. So many goals unnecessarily ruined.

Fuck every year I watch less and less football and shit like this reminds me why. A bunch of pussies rolling about for 90 minutes feigning injury and slow motion replays and lines killing a decent amount of what would be exciting moments in between that

I love VAR but their offside rules are ridiculous. They want too far with this millimeter ruling when it should be just the usual freeze frame and blacked out line. If offside is not obvious there then the offensive player did not gain any advantage.

Both Ronaldo's goal and Udinese's penalty shout were very marginal and made absolutely no difference to the result of the play. Few millimeters or even centimeters are nothing, let the game flow.

Like Dost posted, the guy is a beast! Only reason to hate on him is his salary. If we had PSG money nobody would/should not like him being here.
He is a beast, but salary and age count against him. He also doesn't seem to fit Max's plans, and it's probably easier to change one player then revamp an entire team to cater to one player (unless you're Lebron James aka player, manager, coach, recruiter and team owner all in one), even if it is CR7.

misplaced almost every pass today. Wondering what will be the out come of the transfer drama and if we are able to buy someone if he really leaves
Even if we were to sell him late this window it would still fvck us bc we wont be able to suitably backfill his productivity and we’d be forced to pay way more since every club knows we are desperate

Too late to leave now, and we won't get anyone as prolific, especially not that deplorable cumstain Icunti.

Earliest he could leave is Jan, and with no CL restrictions on representing more than one club in the same calendar year, it's a possibility. I still think he will see out his contract and move to PSG, United or City in the summer.

yes but also a penalty for Udinese earlier
They also changed their penalty rules though. Just contact is no longer enough. The Udinese player looked like he was going down and the on field ref's initial assessment would probably have stood. Kinda similar incident happened in the Arsenal Chelsea match earlier today where Saka ran into someone and was not given a penalty.

Looking at how long the var ref checked it i think we can assume they found a foul there, they were just checking if there was no offside and we were lucky there was.

I'm confused so will Juve players arms be the line for offside now? Does that mean its legal for Juve players to play and score with their arms too?

Fucking Rubentus can play with their arms now. Fixed league.
