Harsh

Very harsh call

The ref was called to have a look because he is required to decide if the offside player was interfering

Doesn't matter he clearly interferes with the keeper playing it

So going by your interpretation, if the Morocco player had been onside when the kick was taken, and had touched the ball with his head, the goal would have been disallowed because he "interfered with the keeper"? I don't think that's the way it should work.

No mate it would have stood because he wouldn't have been offside

Interesting.

Have to say for an African outfit this Moroccan team defend really well, hope I haven’t put the mockers on it.

Belgium struggling to create real chances

But you're saying it was disallowed because of interference by the player not because he was offside. Very iffy.

No I'm saying it was disallowed because the offside player interfered. It was disallowed for offside. It would not have been disallowed if he were onside because the violation was offside.

He was both offside and interfering. If it was only one or the other the goal would’ve stood

Imagine if someone told you in 2005 that one day we’d be able to get all of the correct decisions in matches and it’d be a nightmare that we’d all absolutely hate.

Not everyone hates it.

It's not perfect obviously

It was offside and that’s it

If he was onside how could be interfering ?
