You will just have to take my word on it. Read it somewhere a while ago, ref that were brought later on to analyze various situations also confirmed it. There were plenty of other instances over the years since the rule has been applied. I only named two, one with Juve in the CL, the other was Croatia vs Spain 2 years ago, both times players that were in offside positions at first, but didn't touch the ball, scored in the end.
The ref was poor in this match, he was just letting Brazil foul their way through the whole game playing ugly. If he had of booked the Brazilian players early on when they were leaving their mark mostly on Rodriguez it would have been a much different game. He didn't show a booking to Brazil until it was their 42nd foul in the game i believe.
Fifa just hand the cup to Brazil already we know u want them to win it so badly.

correct call on the off-side, imo. Yepes was in the vicinity and thus "active". That's all that matters.
ref was unconvincing and looked lost too often on account of both teams.
Columbia showed their inexperience at this level - gave Brazil too much credit and took way too long to get into the game.
true but a team that over-focuses on D like Switzerland also cannot put much pressure on the Argies and thus exploit their main weakness - organized team defending (i.e. not just the back 4). Switzerland tried to take away what the Argies do best and that's attacking. Tactics like that are dangerous as they invite danger too close too often and require perfection in defense, which is not likely to persist over the course of an entire game.
Belgium (the Belgium that finally showed up vs the US) is not as well versed at that sort of tactics as the Swiss are, however, they are still solid defensively, while being a lot more balanced altogether. With the talent they have in midfield and attack, the Belgiums
P) can actually put the Argies in a pickle and challenge their weak spots more so than the Swiss ever could.

No more World Cup for Neymar. Fuck Zuniga! But i don't even blame this waste of a human being that plays for garbage city aka Napples, i blame this disgusting referee for letting anything go.
Congrats to all German friends in the forum. The title is yours.

he literally broke his back.
How stupid can u be to laugh at stg like this?
I'd love to personally break Zuniga's knees with a bat right now. Dirty motherfucker. Suits perfectly at Naples.
This show stg Europeans don't seem to see: Neymar gets beaten a lot during games despite his diving. He is not the only one who dives in football. Most players do it. Look at Germany today. And this make people overlook the fact that he gets beaten a whole fucking lot during games. Against Chile they fucked him in 5 min. I really hope referees start seeing this now.
