The ball touched a Brazilian player first which according to the rule which also remains that it is not offside.

Yes I know. But the touch of the Brazilian player didn't erase the cross to which the Colombia player was offside. It's not a new play. It's the following of the first play - the corner. You cannot benefit from an original offside position.

But the rule remains. If you are offside and have any influence on the play it's still offside.

Nope, it wasn't offside. I even remember Juve conceding similar goal.

If there's a hassle in the box, when it is unclear which player will get the ball first, flag stays down. This rule has been applied for a while. When Yepes scored he wasn't offside anymore, so yeah you can benefit from that.

Croatia vs Spain 2 years ago, also similar situation. I think Iniesta was offside at first, but later on, since he didn't get to the ball first he was on side.

I was about to say that we'll watch a football classic when Brazil faces Germany, but it turns out this will be only the 2nd time they play each other in a World Cup, despite being the two nations with most appearances.
I'm sorry about James Rodriguez, because he's a genius and such players deserve a WC semifinal, but I'll take Brazil-Germany over Colombia-Germany any day.

Not in winter, no.

Come on man. Yepes was offsied and jumped and probably touched the ball. Even if he didn't touch it, he influenced a lot fighting through players. The linesman had already signed it, the referee was really slow to see it.

It was offside. An offside player can't take part in any play, even if he doesn't touch the ball. The play was irregular before the Brazilian player touched it.

Check the explanation above and the situation I referred to. It doesn't matter if he was in offside at first, since he didn't touch the ball then. Goal was legit.

he will play just one more match, and even if its 3 its against Belgium, Netherlands and Brazil/Germany. they are on another level than all the previous opponents Argentina played and they didnt impress me against anyone so far...

Messi cannot score against difficult opponents.

I've read it. I'd fully agree with it if Yepes didn't go for the header and didn't intervene on the play before it touched someone.

But he did it and took advantage of his position. And he shouldn't. So offside.

 

[zizinho]

Messi cannot score against difficult opponents.

he can, but judging by his performances till now, i would say he wont score 3 more goals against thougher opponents in 3 games...

The grasshopper was just asking James for shelter and food. Unlike the ant, which worked hard during the summer, this little grasshopper played day and night.

This is why nationalism sucks ok guys lets remember first and foremost we are all juve fans, and no sense creating an atmosphere of hate amongst ourselves.

This Forza Juventus.

 

[Trequartista]

Can someone explain why Kroos is rated so highly? He does nothing whenever I watch him. Gotze is way more talented, although he had a poor season.

Oh and Gotze is better than Ozil too.
