I think the defender stretching his foot trying to block the cross has played him on. |  | |  |

To be fair it was Dorgu playing him on, on the other side, now confirmed |  |

Yep that was my immediate thought. Not sure why the commentators are so confused. |  | |  |
| Five hours for VAR to make a decision... again on 17:56 - Sep 13 with 1058 views | charlie1 | Haaland may not have been offside but Enzo Fernandez has to be!! He made a very clear attempt to head the ball, missing it by a whisker at most. The keeper has to react to the attempt by Enzo, meaning he can't get across to Haaland. What am I missing? |  | |  |

This. How can they say Fernandez wasn't interfering with play? |  |

The ignorance of so called experts understanding the laws of the game. To me on the replay it was obvious there was a chance that the foot of the defender played Haaland onside and the only question was whether Fernandez’s attempted header made contact. Listening to the commentator and Neville discussing whether the deflection off the defender made any difference was frankly embarrassing. |  | |  |

Ah yeh, having watched the replay I totally agree, he clearly influenced the defenders actions there. So he should have been given offside. |  | |  |

Ifab law 11. Only interfering if: - Interfering with play: Playing or touching the ball. - Interfering with an opponent: Obstructing an opponent's line of vision, challenging for the ball, or impacting their ability to play. - Gaining an advantage: Playing the ball or interfering after a rebound, deflection, or save off the woodwork or an opponent. None of the above apply to Fernandez. |  | |  |

He challenged for the ball. He dived for it, meaning Lammens had to consider his presence, therefore impacting his ability to play? |  |

Does trying to head it not count as challenging for the ball? Not being argumentative - I genuinely don't understand the rules any more! |  | |  |

Nope. That is not covered by the laws. Unless Fernandez has obstructed the keeper’s dive or impeded his line of sight, neither of which it did. |  | |  |

Not challenging for the ball, challenging the defender which prevents him getting to the ball. He would had to have either obstructed the defender or keeper in some way or made contact with the ball. |  | |  |

Well if you're so smart, then tell us why that should be allowed in tbe interests of the game.... not because of some loophole or blind spot in the lawbook Haaland didn't take up that position thinking it would get a touch of the defender and make him onside. He inadvertently took up an offside position... and got rewarded for it by a slight touch from a defender ( that only several minutes of VAR ) could decipher. We're making football so unnecessarily complicated. And we're making ourselves so reliant on VAR decisions and tootball lawyers. It should have been offside, whether it was touched or not. It's a daft rule as it rewards bad play ie being in an offside position. Sorry, but we don't need to make things so complicated. |  | |  |

A deflection doesn't count as delibrate play by the defender. It was all about Enzo's involvement. |  | |  |

They're making it ridiculously complicated now. Like the handball rule. |  |
