thought i was going to miss the first 30 minutes glad uefa got my message kindly asking them to push kick off back half an hour, although they seem to have played fast and loose with the “whatever it takes” part of my message
I still wanna see that first pass in. Must have been onside pretty clearly cause they never replayed it.
i'm assuming they are calling the knee of fabinho as an accidental touch the ball before that accidental touch was hit by Valverde
Valverde initiated that sequence with Benzema offside. Valverde into Thiago into Konate but it was still starting with a touch from a guy on Madrid with a Madrid player offside If you think that's an egregious call you're nuts or biased
Agreed its not egregious, but Thiago is intentionally playing that ball, so regardless that it “deflected” off him he’s trying to play the ball so it was an active touch last by a defender and should have been onside.
except Valverde never played the ball as it was tackled away in a deliberate manner by either of the Liverpool players
How do you go your entire explanation and not once mention Fabinho lunging in for a tackle? Is that act not playing a ball on purpose or did he just trip and fall there?
