Can you imagine if that Beasely goal had not been offside? Down 10 guys to 9, no team with 9 men has ever scored in the WC ...

I jumped outta my chair and yelled "Goooooaaaal" at the top of my lungs.

Then I saw the offside flag. :(

I think we are both on the same page. I'm thinking does Buffon get to this ball if McBride stays in line with the defender and remains offside?

It looks like he gets part of the ball but I'm wondering would he only get a touch on it before it reaches goal?

I was screaming too before I heard them take it back. Yes I was screaming.

I did too. I hit the ceiling as a matter of fact. Literally. There is now a black mark from where the remote scratched the ceiling that will remind me of that moment forever. The sad thing is that if McBride had been three feet to the left that goal probably would have stood.
