I thought if the last touch is off a defender is on?
Commentators here are saying the touch by the defender has to be judged deliberate. Looking at the replays he actually ducked trying to get out of the way of the ball, so judged an acidental touch, therefore offside. :duno:

Thought Okafor scored for Switzerland, but it was Ndoye from Forest. Twins these two are!

Anyone else having trouble with the site? It's been locking up for the last two days. And then it kicked me out. I haven't had access in a few hours. Some of you probably like it better that way. :roflmao:

They must have the roof closed at BC Place. Its been rainy and cool all day here on the BC coast.
Okafor must feel like he's back in Yorkshire.

Don't think so. Currently, the brain works fine but the body is slowing. In 4 years time I imagine CR7 will have called it a day

Disallowed a goal for at most a hair on the ball that played no part in the final outcome ?

Didn't seem to change the trajectory (which according to the FIFA rule book it needs to )

No wonder the Croatians were so angry

Roger Milla was 42 at WC 1994. I can definitely see him wanting to beat that record. :)
