Fifa World Cup 2026

This is not offside. Attackers body is in line with defender. Football will be better without these incompetent, corrupt VAR officials.

Very very marginal, but yes, by the strict laws of the game, it's offisde.

A player is in an offside position if:
  • any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
  • any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

So he is technically offside because a marginal part of his head is in front.

Overall 8/10.

I liked more teams and a bigger world cup, but also it was too long, by the semis I was properly gatvol of soccer. I'm not sure I like the round of 32 and the groups being easier.
Mostly the soccer was really good there was very few boring games.
The fans and atmosphere were great.
Referring was mostly good for soccer, but probably the worst aspect of the world cup. Not awarding diving or tolerating too much back chat from players, excellent. Just Argentina and Messi got a bit of favouritism during the tournament. And the red card drama.

Just enough drama to keep it interesting.

The 48 teams format actually worked pretty well, Fifa will probably push to 64 teams but there is just not enough quality and there will be some terrible games coming up. Cape Verde was awesome but besides them there was not many great underdog stories.

Would also go 8/10 the stadiums and crowds did look amazing!

They didn't edit him out. That shot was after he moved to the side. Check the players' positions with Trump there vs after he moved away for this shot.

Just sayin...

They cropped it.... he was trying to stay in frame and they just sniped him out.

I watched it happen and baldy was trying his best to put him as far out of the shot as possible.
 
I have huge respect for Argentinian rugby players and their supporters (mostly). Soccer? Not so much.

By the time this shot was taken he was standing with his back to the cameras applauding the team.

People make it sound like they removed him from the photo.

Why do you have respect for their rugby team? Did you see what happened after the game on Saturday. They started a fight and started pushing the ref after he rightfully called their try back. They are just as thuggish in Rugby as in Football. This seems to be part of Argentinian culture.

Their supporters dancing and spitting on the English flag really turned me off. Absolute scum.
