I'll say it, the call was virtually game changing, and horrible. The rule is clear and the linesman got it terribly wrong. It's what he's paid to do.

Reffing should not be the reason someone wins or loses in any sport, and in soccer it happens way too often.

Switzerland ripped.
Germany ripped
Us ripped twice
Multiple others.

It's a disgrace.

In the linesman's defense, I'll say that I thought it was offside too when I saw the play live.

Well i do agree that the referees did a horrible “overall” job during this tournament.
But this happens.
And it hits all teams sometimes.
Sometimes you have luck sometimes you don´t have it.
But isn´t it even more fun to still win even you had no
luck with the calls?
The good teams usually will prevail even they will get their
“fair” share of bad calls too.
This is soccer.
