I have no idea how far McBride was from Beasley, but I do know that he was standing right in front of the net and flicked up his leg when the ball went by. Oh, and just for the record: [i]I understand the offside rule fine.[/i] :) Never had a problem with it before. The only reason I mentioned it is that the Korean announcers keep mentioning that it has been changed. I asked my father-in-law about it, and he said he heard the same thing. Basically, what we heard was this: offside is only called when a player involved in the play is offside. That is, if an offside player is on the other side of the field from the play, then offside might not be called. I say "might" because apparently this is not the way it is done most of the time. But both my father-in-law and I saw the same game where an attacking player was blatantly offside yet not part of the play, so the goal counted. The Korean announcers used the above rationale to explain the situation. It has occurred to me, though, that the refs just blew the call and the Korean announcers made up this explanation--although that sounds unlikely. Then again, a sudden change to the offside rule also seems rather unlikely. So, someone tell me that everything is the way it has always been and I'll be happy. Jason: yep, I'm rooting for the Aussies as well. I would love to see them upset Brazil (likelihood of said upset happening aside, of course). Next up: Korea v. France! Woohoo! Praying for a win here. :) [img]http://www.liminality.org/asylum/sigs/suho_umbrella04.gif[/img] ___________________________ Suho: [url=http://www.liminality.org]www.liminality.org[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/4837]Cell 270[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/5689]Sig Rotator[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/22173]the Fellowship of Sup[/url] Loading...
