Okay, they had a whole game to try to get the goal back but both teams out of the former Yugoslavia were hard done by officiating in this tournament.
Feel your pain, Bosnia, you worked hard to get there.
Hope Croatia can go through, more now I’d say. It was a beautiful skillful goal. How could one be in New Zealand and live with oneself in making such a bad call.
Not Nigeria’s fault though, they didn’t make the ignorant call. Like Lalas said, perhaps Nigeria played fairly well.
But who knows what the course of the game would have took had the goal stood. Would Nigeria have scored?
The problem with reviewing offsides is that once the flag is raised the defense will react, so it makes it real tough to just video review. It’s not like football, where you just let a play run its’ course, then review.
