"So that's not Offsides!?🤔" United States vs Uruguay 2024 Copa America Reaction 

Top player is offside, but not part of the play. Middle player was kept onside by the USA players leg being extended.

So the way the line is drawn in this frame, the last part of the defender (the toe) is in line with the last part of the first attacker (the knee), therefore the first Uruguayan player is onside. The Uruguayan player on the top is offside, however, he does not impact the play at all, therefore that cannot be called as offside. He does not go anywhere near the ball, does not obstruct the keeper or the keeper's vision, nor does he obstruct any defender that may impact the play. So if you look at the decision from this specific frame, then it is the correct call. However, I don't think the refs used the correct frame. Offside happens at the moment the ball leaves the touch of the passer (in this case the moment the ball is no longer in contact with the head of the Uruguayan). I believe there are one or two more frames after this one in which the ball is stil in contact with the Uruguayan player but the scoring Uruguayan player would have been offside had those frames been used so from this perspective I believe it was the wrong call.

Dude, im from México 🇲🇽 and you know the RIVALRY between us but that right there was an offside anywhere in the world!

Controversies with Argentina: 🤬😡🤬😠 Controversies with Uruguay: 👨‍🦯👨‍🦯👨‍🦯👨‍🦯

Hes clearly in back of the line, the tip of the USA'S defenders foot is what made him be onside. Now the Uruguayan player to the left of the pitch is offside but he never interferes with the play.

The one you point at, he´s not the guy that kicked the ball, nor is he part of the play or influencing it. Its the player below that one that kicked it and he´s on the same line so VAR ruled it correctly.

The guy offside was not part of the play so you can eliminate him. The other player was the one who scored and appears to be in line with the US player. It was not a clear offside like everyone is suggesting. Good call imo.

that other guy didn't touch the ball ... the guy who scored he was not offside .. Its football

If the man up top interferes with the play in any way (he doesn't necessarily have to touch the ball) then he is offside for sure, now if he doesn't interfere then it is a legal goal.

This screenshot says nothing about the play... Its just a screenshot where the guy in the back is offside.. but i dont know where the ball is going and if that guy interfered that play... He was never in the line of side for the goalkeeper so thats not the reason he could been offside.. i have to go search on yt for the whole action(goal) i thought i would have found a video when i clcked yours, but its just clickbait i guess

COPA doesn't want CONCACAF to do well in this tournament. It's as simple as that. But the worst thing that could happen in sports is that the officials won't call play fairly because of political influence. Everyone in this tournament deserves respect, regardless of how the rest of the world views them.

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by: interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or interfering with an opponent by: preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball or clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball *The first point of contact of the 'play' or 'touch' of the ball should be used or gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with an opponent when it has: rebounded or been deflected off the goalpost, crossbar or an opponent been deliberately saved by any opponent A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately played* the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent. he was offside and dont let these people tell you different,

Definitivamente en USA no saben de fútbol

It could have been called off-side. That said, the Cup's VAR favored Canada grotesquely and has been insanely and consistently whistling against Chile's squad. It seems the organizers wanted the next World Cup's hosts to perform better than they actually perform.

How did this go through as not offside? I hope the apple pie, and the fire works helped you go thru this thou.

The player you are pointing to at the top of the screen is not who scored the goal. The second Uruguayan player on the line is not offside.

I don't think that is the play Uruguay scored on. Because they scored in the 66th minute of play. Not the 83rd minute, I wanted to see the play in action, but it's just a picture still you have.

Yes, he was outside. & FYI, you are not washing Telemundo 😂

Need to see the passage of play, looks it from there. This is football though its a nightmare at times. I support a scottish team and we get shafted constantly

I'm from Canada it's offside up here to bullshit man!

The line for the Uruguay player is drawn wrong. The line is drawn on the feet when it should be where the knee is sticking out. That looks offside to me.

depends the position the moment kick the ball

Your video and lines drawn aren't very clear, but I did watch the game and in my opinion Olivera looked miles offside.

Instead of assuming it is offside or not why the US will not invest on the most advance VAR technology you can buy. That camera and that angle is way too subjective to be use. You can be correct in this Frame but what about the frame use in Europe and the EPL it can look a whole different angle and it’s probably more on side than you think

It’s miles offside, and I’m English- not biased either way

HIS TOE!!!!!!!! HIS LEFT TOE IS OFF SIDE. THAT IS A PLAYABLE PART! YOU ARE NOT A REFEREE

we had the opposite in the premier league last season liverpool vs spurs, said it was offside when he was miles onside lol just incompetent people on VAR

This is a good goal just saw it... The guy "offside" is not important in this play... Good goal...

Its offside 100% anyone can see that var needs to be regulated better with people that knows the game

Wheres the ball?

No system is perfect and can always be manipulated to obtain the desired outcome.

0:46- el jugador que señalas allí no participa, o no incide,en la jugada, la controversia podría surgir del que sí patea al arco. De ahí en adelante es lo que decide el VAR

No, if its on the same line it is legal, Off-Side is over that line, an inch over that line would be Off, but this case the attacker is on that line not off, so its still legal.

So many terrible calls in this game. Calls that don’t even make football sense. This guy has a history on corruption & receiving gifts from teams who then received soft PK calls in the future, they knew this & still let him ref. He also refused to shake Pulisics hand.

You know nothing my friend, the blue shirt on the top was never part of the play therefore it doesn't matter if he's offsides

Yes is not offside, because government dont even care about the sport only focus on politics instead what went wrong.

Dude. The only player that could be offside, does not score, and does not participate directly in the goal, plus, technically, the goalie is passing the ball to the forward Uruguay player (with his amateur push of the ball) the one that most definitely is NOT, offside giving him full permission to score. It's a legal goal. Sucks! But it's a legal goal.

It's not off side. It only looks that way because your angle gives the illusion to of it being offside. In today age of VAR it is very hard to make a wrong call

It was not offside. The guy un the upper side not even touch the ball and the guy that scored was not in offside.

This is a useless debate because even if it wasn't offside, USA wasn't gonna go through with a 0-0 tie. They had to win by at least 3 goals.

Regardless of what your opinion is, we were in this position because Weah decided to betray his own team by getting himself expulsed in that game with Panama and letting his team lose. As coach I would ban him from playing until my contract expires because nobody who has faith in American Football ⚽️ would do that to their team. Our people are also at fault, maybe instead of focusing on Football 🏈 or Baseball (sports that the world doesnt really care that much about) we should actually try to generate young talent and beat the Rest of the world at their own game. How can we claim to be the best country in the world yet get our shit pushed in by any starving third world country in the most important sport in the world. USMNT needs to get their shit together Damn it

soy de Perú, los uruguayos también nos chorearon así... :(

Offside or not USA would have lost either way so idk why ppl are still arguing over this

Even if it was an offside it would not have affected the outcome Move on!

Conmebol is shady af

there is no way you can take an image like this and tell without any reasonable doubt that this is the moment the ball was touched. Then you have to add the error in the position of the line which it's not granted that is at the tip of McKennie's toe and indeed it seems to be a bit too much ON the foot, with some part of the boot that seems to be in the space between the two lines. Then the 3D bodies are projected on the 2D surface of the TV image which makes it extremely difficult to define their real position in space as they run on a diagonal path. There are simply too many variables and for sure the lack of a precise timestamp with the ball being played isn't helping. It takes 1cs of time and Olivera's knee is not past the line. It's an extremely complicated decision to make and honestly I don't think anyone can really say it was 100% onside/offside.

If they are in line with the last defender, then it is onside. I looked up the rules so trust me.

It's all fixed

the player that scored was not offside, the player that was offside was not part of the play

Dejen de llorar que con el empate no les daba Arriba Uruguay

Panama won so it doesn't count so much

You just have to look for the player which make the goal… its not off side

It's offside

Not offside because he did not interfere with play..

The officials in this game were totally pro Uruguay period!!!

No offside, he didn't get the ball and was not involved in the play or goal

Keep on crying that was not offside but You will never understand why, cause you wan´t
