The offside is correct. A drop kick for a whistle from the stands, negating a PK, is so bad.

Oh my

Good finish.

Should be 2-1 curaao from first pen or even 3-1 from that handled ball a few mins ago

I hate that an attacker actually has to look at specific parts of the defender to stay onside. The defender's arm was behind the attacker but not his foot. I understand the rule, I just don't like it.

Can't play the ball with your arm in soccer. So the arm isn't considered for offside.

I'm 100% for Curacao here, but I think they're lucky to not lose this game 2-1. That slide tackle by the GK (Eloy Room) was a bad foul. Referee was out of position and not focused on that play. I thought VAR should've sent that down and bailed him out of this huge missed PK call. VAR, somehow, had a check complete. Canada should've gotten a PK there.

Methinks that, as much as CONCACAF wanted to get Canada through this game, they're pissed at Canada. Canada got busted cheating with the drones and Marsch is suspended right now during this tournament. If I'm CONCACAF, I'm saying screw Canada more than Curacao.

Anyone watching Honduras v El Salvador?

Pretty boring so far

Nice goal for former Dynamo player Quioto

I'm betting this game doesn't finish 11v11

We'll see. Ref hasn't gotten yellow happy yet. Only one total at the half.

Wow the game sealing counter was fun. 1v1'd the GK at the half line and passed to an empty net!

Quote:

---

UNITED STATES

Have qualified and will top the group with a win or draw against Haiti.

If the U.S. lose, Saudi Arabia would need to win with a goal-difference swing of seven goals to steal first place.

SAUDI ARABIA

Win: Qualify, almost certainly in second place
Draw: Qualify, as long as Haiti do not win (see Haiti section)
Lose: Cannot qualify

HAITI

Win: They have a couple of routes. Haiti qualify as long as Saudi Arabia do not lose to Trinidad and Tobago by five or more goals (which puts Trinidad and Tobago through). If Saudi Arabia draw, it comes down to goal difference and goals scored, and Haiti are through if they win by two or more goals. If Haiti win by one goal and goal difference is identical (e.g. 1-0, 1-1) then Saudi Arabia are second on head to head.

Cannot qualify with a draw or loss.

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

Win: Have to get the victory over Saudi Arabia, and they will be through if Haiti draw or lose. If Haiti win, Trinidad and Tobago must win by five or more goals to finish second on goal difference.

Cannot qualify with a draw or loss.

No ****, as I said before, I understand the rule, I just don't like it.

I'm an attacker running up the field and I see a defender across the field that appears to be keeping me on because part of his body is in front of me. But, you want me to analyze that player and see which parts of his body are legal to play the ball and if those parts are in front of me. I think it should be that either the defender is even with me, or in front of me. It shouldn't come down to body parts. My $.02.

I thought they were going to implement a "daylight" rule for offside

Not positive on this but I think it starts July 1st. So this tournament doesn't have the "daylight" rule.

Holy cow, Costa Rica has already gotten 2 terrible yellows 3 minutes in.
Guess the organizers really don't want a US Mexico quarter.

I had to board a plane and missed most of the USA match after the first 20 or so mins. Now I'm settled at a bar and watching Mex - CRC en espanol

Golazo

Bicicleta at 90+2

Or not. Idk what VAR saw

Wow disallowed offsides

Can't believe they took it away. He looked onside…. When the ball got headed.

Goal scorer was off sides on the set piece, even though the ball wasn't played into him, teammate got a head out to him and he was onside when he hit that amazing bicycle

The only thing I can guess is they're saying the CR header is not deliberate?

Oh well. Sucks for the dude to have an amazing hit not count, but it's Mexico so I'll be ok with it.

Mexico vs KSA should be a fun watch

damn, Sunday is so far away

No thread for it so I'm dumping it here. A school teacher and part time footballer scored the goal for semi pro Auckland City that eliminated Boca Juniors

9 minute review in this Panama/Jamaica game. If it takes this long then play on.

Canada v El Salvador has been chippy from the opening whistle. SLV doing what they do.

El Salvador v Canada almost guaranteed to end with at least 1 red.

There ya go

There's one

Pen for the Canucks

Great save but he came off his line
