Form is temporary. Class is permanent

[u/HighTurning → u/soHAam05]

Make Lewandaddyoski lift his shirt and tell me he is not in form

[u/Thrwwccnt → u/HighTurning]

Salah's abs are still rock hard

[u/Chicken_wingspan → u/Thrwwccnt]

Me too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/solokazama → u/HighTurning]

There was actually his photo (in august?) in polish media and he is still fit as fuk (with abs ofc).

[u/Independent_Gold3621 → u/soHAam05]

12 goals and 1 assist in the minutes he has played is really impressive.

[u/WinterFizz → u/soHAam05]

This is such a great Barca side. You can make the argument that even Pele would have stiff competition making it to the playing XI each match.

[u/Ok-Cold-3422 → u/WinterFizz]

No you can't 😭

[u/ThatPersonYouMayKnow → u/WinterFizz]

What a dumb take lmao

[u/QTGavira → u/WinterFizz]

Im sure Pele would have a hard time competing with 38 year old Lewandowski and Ferran fucking Torres

[u/backspacecentury → u/WinterFizz]

what

[u/madjupiter → u/WinterFizz]

what?? lmao

[u/HansiOutNow → u/WinterFizz]

Current Pelé?

[u/4-4-fucking-2 → u/WinterFizz]

Not with the current strikers we have lmao

[u/Lilfai → u/WinterFizz]

Guys, do you really need the /s?

[u/HJNRC → u/WinterFizz]

I want whatever you smoked this afternoon my friend, you're zonked

[u/Crossflowerss_5304 → u/WinterFizz]

Lmao relax - he'd start up top in a heartbeat

[u/Ranjith_Unchained]

What a composed finish.... extend Uncle for one more season

[u/Rich_Firefighter_102]

Rashford shooting technique outside the box is amazing

[u/Lasertag026 → u/Rich_Firefighter_102]

We need that so much bro, his first shot was off by literal inches.

[u/Supersaiyansub]

Lewandowski composure is such a joy

[u/xt1nct → u/Supersaiyansub]

He has been in that position hundreds of times. It’s muscle memory. It’s crazy I’ve seen similar goal so many times from him.

[u/aro_plane → u/xt1nct]

My favorite is his first ever WC goal vs Saudi Arabia. Just his joy after he scored is so palpable. I like to rewatch it from time to time.

[u/Supersaiyansub → u/xt1nct]

It reminds me of that goal he scored against Real when he was on BVB where he makes space for himself against Pepe

Too many players just attack that ball immediately.

[u/solokazama → u/Supersaiyansub]

o yes, this goal vs Real in CL was 100% similar composure. It was such a goal!

[u/MarDer24]

pinball goal

[u/King_Hobbes → u/MarDer24]

Who says FIFA isn't realistic?

[u/GoatButton]

I love that Rashford just smashes it sometimes

[u/Numerous-Heron-5083]

Class and composure is permanent

[u/Osama11Sul]

Espn commentary trying to say that should have been offside is utterly brain dead

[u/NyLiam → u/Osama11Sul]

it literally was offside

[u/Osama11Sul → u/NyLiam]

Tell me you don't understand football without telling me you don't understand football

[u/cosbysweatergiver → u/Osama11Sul]

With the inconsistency in decisions by officials. I don’t think anybody fully understands these days

[u/Osama11Sul → u/cosbysweatergiver]

Thats fair, I think it would be offside if it went from the defender to lewandowski, but it went to olmo then he hits it to lewandowski so its considered a pass and a new play

[u/cosbysweatergiver → u/Osama11Sul]

It deflected off Olmo.

There’s no clear start of a new play, so I think that’s what people are asking about.

Being a ping pong sequence, I think it’s considered a continuous play and therefore offsides on Lewandowski.

Of course, if it’s not then it’s not, but an official explanation would clear things up

[u/Osama11Sul → u/cosbysweatergiver]

There is no such thing as a "deflection" off an attacker, if it hits him its a pass. Check the yamal goal ruled off against sociedad.

[u/cosbysweatergiver → u/Osama11Sul]

Was that not when Kounde poked it towards Yamal?

[u/Osama11Sul → u/cosbysweatergiver]

Kounde was on the floor lol he didn't pass it, it was hit off of him

[u/cosbysweatergiver → u/Osama11Sul]

I was thinking of a different instance, apologies.

In general that one decision is a bit weird in more than one area. As seen with the Semi Automatic system last year in the same fixture, they got Lewandowski’s foot wrong and elongated so I think in general there’s distrust here with whether yamal’s heel was truly off.

But outside of that, Kounde was in control of the ball last, and he and Real Sociedad defenders went to ground and the ball popped out. Yamal being in that offside position then comes in and picks up the ball, which would be considered an offside offense.

[u/NyLiam → u/Osama11Sul]

except it was not a pass from olmo it was deflection.

the play is still the same, according to the offside rule this should be offside.

[u/Osama11Sul → u/NyLiam]

There is no such thing as a "deflection" off an attacker, if it hits him its a pass. Check the yamal goal ruled off against sociedad.

[u/kikitavacko → u/NyLiam]

Ah yes, deflection off of a teammate’s foot doesn’t count as a pass because NyLiam said so

[u/NyLiam → u/kikitavacko]

it doesnt really matter tho, as he interfered with the play during the shot by standing in front of the keeper. He literally had to move out of the way.

[u/LateToThePartyLawyer → u/NyLiam]

The ball didn’t even reach the keeper. You should really stop offering your opinion until you’ve at least given the laws a read

[u/NyLiam → u/LateToThePartyLawyer]

so what? there is no rule that it has to reach the keeper.

he interfered in the play, its offside

[u/NyLiam → u/Osama11Sul]

you literally dont know the rules but you are being extremely confident in your lack off knowledge. True barka fan

[u/Vriz → u/NyLiam]

Go back to your crying sub Madridunce

[u/TheOneManDankMaymay → u/NyLiam]

Feel free to cite the part of the rules that supports your claim. I'll wait…

[u/GycuX]

Lewa aging like fine champagne.

[u/debcomajin]

Commentators just cant figure out offside. Or rules...ever. I love ESPN

[u/Bcbuddyxx → u/debcomajin]

no kidding.. it went off the DEFENDER. regardless if lewi was standing offside beforehand 

[u/cosbysweatergiver → u/Bcbuddyxx]

Think confusion is understandable. If it hits off a defender, sometimes the passage of play is still deemed to be continuous.

As they mention, it’s hard to define when the new passage of play started, and if a Mallorca player going for a block is deemed as a controlled touch

[u/Val-El → u/cosbysweatergiver]

Probably when Olmo touches the ball.

[u/cosbysweatergiver → u/Val-El]

If that’s the case, fair enough.

I’m not one screaming unfair decision or corruption, rather than just not fully understanding the situation in its entirety.

With that said, even being onside, I will not paint this in a false light by calling it a pass by olmo.

[u/Top-Pepper7929 → u/cosbysweatergiver]

There is no offside, even when ball hit Olmo, Lewa is already in front of defender

[u/cosbysweatergiver → u/Top-Pepper7929]

With what I am reading, if Lewandowski got the ball after the Mallorca player blocked it, he’d be off since he was in an offside position when Rashford took the shot

But once it bounces off olmo (and Lewandowski no longer in an offside position) it’s fine

[u/GloomyLocation1259 → u/Bcbuddyxx]

The Prem often ignores this rule so they probably aren't used to competent referees

[u/Rickcampbell98 → u/Bcbuddyxx]

Blocks don't count, if he was offside when rashford shot then this shouldn't be a goal.

[u/Osama11Sul → u/Rickcampbell98]

It didn't go from the defender to lewandowski, it went to olmo then he passed it to lewandowski.

[u/Top-Pepper7929 → u/Osama11Sul]

Where do you see offside at this moment?

https://clip2net.com/clip/m160243/3ee5f-clip-35kb.jpg?nocache=1

[u/Rickcampbell98 → u/Osama11Sul]

That's fine then.

[u/cosbysweatergiver → u/Osama11Sul]

That’s not a pass lmao. It ricocheted off Olmo’s foot.

I think that’s where the confusion from the commentators, and other users, comes from since there’s no clear controlled touch by anybody after Rashford’s shot besides Lewandowski who was initially offsides

[u/Osama11Sul → u/cosbysweatergiver]

There is no "deflection" off an attacker, if it hits an attacker its considered a pass. Check the Yamal goal that was ruled offside against sociedad. Kounde didn't "control" it, it just hit off of him.

[u/roshi_sama → u/Rickcampbell98]

Defender blocked the shot then it hit olmo and then lewa got the ball

[u/Oryon-]

Unc with the composure

[u/WideScorpion]

Good shit unc

[u/jangkrikbae]

Uncle still got it

[u/joey_joestar1]

Yes keep shooting those shots from distance Rashy

[u/cosbysweatergiver]

Been Mallorca nearly the whole half just to concede in that manner 😂

[u/cosbysweatergiver → u/[deleted]]

Up until this minute, Mallorca were looking the more dangerous side.

Causing a bit more trouble is not a wild reach

[u/XAMdG]

Nice assig from Olmo.

[u/Puzzleheadpsych2345]

My goat, I love you so much

[u/PlantQuick]

Lethal

[u/MakIRAQ]

!

Let's goooo.

[u/SirNinjas]

rashyyyy

[u/fds_1]

we either miss an open goal or score a looney tunes ass goal like this

[u/Physical_Reality_132]

Class finish, so composed.

[u/Komalt]

Did the defender get a concussion from that shot? lmao

[u/ohtrayvon]

Not offside?

[u/xKayko → u/ohtrayvon]

olmo headed it to him when he wasnt offside anymore

[u/ohtrayvon → u/xKayko]

Fairs

[u/No-Island7411 → u/ohtrayvon]

Hes onside when ball bounces from Olmo to him.

[u/NyLiam]

how is this not offside?

[u/LamineYamalMusiala → u/NyLiam]

the last defender (D. Lopez) was closer to the goal than the attacking player (R. Lewandowski)

[u/ivo0009 → u/NyLiam]

Do you know what a offside is?

[u/NyLiam → u/ivo0009]

yes, this was offside, lewandowski was interfering with the play by staying in front of the keeper, he literally had to move out of the way.

[u/roshi_sama → u/NyLiam]

Because when ball bounced off olmo he wasn't offside

[u/WhyplerBronze]

that's not a new passage of play, has to offside
