Re: World Soccer XIII: Through the Group Stages

He's offside because there have to be two SA players between Vela and the goal line, and he's behind the GK.

Yep.

South Africa NEARLY puts one in, and draws another corner...and another.

finally some sustained pressure from Bafana Bafana

Re: World Soccer XIII: Through the Group Stages

It's just rare that an attacking player is behind the GK so it rarely comes up.

it's funny because the way some of the mexicans responded, not sure if they knew the rule either.

Re: World Soccer XIII: Through the Group Stages

As I've been saying in the buildup, players still don't know quite how this ball flies. Perez keeps judging these corners wrong.

Only 1 added minute, so should be nearing the end of the 1st.

Mexico had the better part of play, but South Africa responded and had some quality chances late in the half.

HALF TIME!!!

0-0

McManaman points out that the GK coming out is what put Vela offside, though maybe not in quite such clear wording as would've been helpful.

BBC concur - "The goalkeeper came out, which was exactly the wrong thing to do, but it ended up saving the goal."

I think the studio guys just didn't want to embarrass the announcer, we'll see if the announcer corrects himself this half or just ignores it.

He actually tried to blame the goalkeeper when the real problem is he didn't know the rule. Class.
