What is written and what we know is that a player is in an offside position if any part of the head, body, or feet is closer to the opponents goal line than both the ball and the last opponent.
There were times or some circumstances where it became difficult to determine, and that brought about the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), so that when ever decisions were hard to make, you consulted before making a decision.
That was an excellent move; however, I see it as problematic when a referee decides to make a decision about going to watch that when the majority calls for it.
Ghana's Black Stars' match against Portugal in the on-going World Cup Tournament wasn't a fair one.
A wrong-side penalty was given against Ghana, and that led to Portugal's first goal against Ghana. The other goal that led to Portugal's win was also a clear offside.
What then is FIFA's take in situations like this where serious decisions by the referee are questionable?
This is pure racism in the highest degree. An offside goal, a false penalty, and no VAR check
The cheat against Africans in competitions like these is too much and there is therefore a need stop it. What if Africa as a whole decides to stop playing the tournament?. Africans just can't continue like this.
A time is coming, and when it comes, the narrative will change.
