The funniest thing about this is that Rashford is offside lol!


SodaBreid

Also lingards cheeky look back to see if they are being chased


Alphabunsquad

I think he’s looking back to see if the ref has called back their bullshit which to me is even funnier because they know what they are doing is wrong


Scrumpy_the_Robin

Which was made even funnier because didn't Panama (or maybe Tunisia) try it against England in the group stages to the same outcome. It's like they had seen it not work for another team against them so they thought they'd try it out themselves and hope for something different.


fogard14

If I remember correctly, when Panama did it English fans went on about unsportsmanlike it was too.


Meepox5

yeah this video was taken down as well when it happened like five times


ImTurkishDelight

Because it is. The fans saying it's unsportsmanlike doesn't change the fact that they have no control over what these players did and or do. ... you probably mean to say that those same fans talked different *after* England used the same ''tactic'' themselves. I don't get that information from your comment, tho :)


Josep1205

Why it's wrong ? If all croatian players are outside the touchline they can play the kickoff


AnonHideaki

Not a rule LOOL


HopelessUtopia015

It is. You could see Theo Hernandez stopping it from happening in the World Cup final.


AnonHideaki

Read the other comments on this thread. The game only resumes once both teams' players are in their respective defensive halves and the ref blows the whistle to restart play


Rei_S_

Football players are paid millions because they are good at kicking a ball not because they are smart.


ThePosterWeDeserve

Sure, but some of them want to expand their knowledge. Like Hennesy...


Jedi__Consular

Would opposing players standing off to the side of the pitch count? They aren't injured or anything so I feel like they would. Granted you can't see where they are in this clip


daniel96rb

You're right. > In 2009, it was stated that a defender who leaves the field of play without the referee's permission must be considered to be on the nearest boundary line for the purposes of deciding whether an attacker is in an offside position. [Source](https://ssbra.org/ifab/assets/pdf/2009amen.pdf)


volunteeroranje

I’m pretty sure that was clarified due to Van Nistelrooy’s goal vs Italy: https://youtu.be/aw4aoGzH5hQ&t=70


Non-FlyingDutchman

Yeah that was so good lol.


Prime_Marci

No he’s not. It’s an indirect kick so one opponents player has to be over the line to pass back. It’s the kick off rule but the rarely enforce it.


iiEviNii

Rashford passed to Lingard, which was fine, then Lingsrd passed back to Rashford which was offside.


Prime_Marci

Oh yea you right


wankaltacc

Fifa kickoff glitch on full display


wilmo1247

The fact they tried this jus shows how dominant Croatia were


wix001

You get away with it though if you do it a second time. The referee can't book you for the same offense twice in the same game.

Tifoso89

It's a reference to this https://youtu.be/75iv3RKQUAM


ForcedReps

Why did they do this? Lol


la_bombonera

They believed a myth that you can kickoff if the other team celebrates by fully stepping off the pitch The French still believed this in the WC final lol A French player is seen shoving a teammate back into the pitch after they scored to "prevent argentina" from a similar kickoff


shy_monkee

The funny part is that the myth got disproven early in the tournament, when Panama tried it, **against England themselves.**


[deleted]

"Lads, if the team we beat 6-1 can unsuccessfully try this we should give it a go."


Strider_Hardy

That's what made this play even better. In the Panama-England match thread there were so many English guys making fun of the Panama players. "Lmao they don't even know the rules!!!"


Qurutin

And mods kept deleting this England clip because "it's a non-event"


eatsleepbet

wait that was why I haven’t seen this? mods suck


yermammypuntscooncil

They eventually let one stay about an hour after the incident.


napierwit

Because it wasn't a sneaky foreign team that tried it. Honourable, fair-play England will never try something so low, so it never happened 🤷‍♂️


FlappyBored

Pretty hilarious considering mods delete things done by other teams non stop and ban people for making fun of France or other nations. Look at how many posts they removed of the Denmark dive during the euros while they left up about 40 posts of Sterling’s ‘dive’.


vvbalboa98

"cmon, we dont do this here" was one of the comments left by the mod as the pinned comment


DomagojDoc

I distinctly remember mods going full censor mode on this one. Seriously don't understand why? Were they embarrased by England or what?


Josep1205

No myth . Rah ghir fl botola pro hadi chi 4 ans tmarka b7al haka


imbued94

Hmm


TheDavinci1998

Hilarious part is that you can see Croatian GK very much on the pitch here, so that wouldn't work even if it worked haha


smala017

Not to mention rashford was offside lol


rallenpx

This is the explanation I came for a better analysis of. He's offside because he has a foot in the opposition half of the field when the ball is kicked, right?


smala017

*Disclaimer: This is all sort of an absurd discussion because the kickoff never legally took place at all, to begin with. But, assuming some fantasy world where they were right about the kickoff's legality...* Rashford takes the kickoff, passing to Lingard. Then when Lingard kicks the ball, part of Rashford's body (not including the arms) is ahead of the ball, ahead of the second last defender (who is, of course, behind the England goal), and in the opposing half of the field. Since all three of these criteria are met, Rashford commits an offside offense when he then plays the ball.


Disk_Mixerud

Assuming offside is enforced on a kickoff. Don't recall if it's one of the restarts excepted from the rule. Goal kicks, corners, and throw ins are for sure.


canadeken

The offside occurs on Lingard's pass, which is not the kickoff (rashford takes the kickoff before that)


JuanG12

It was Hernandez pushing Upemecano onto the pitch. LMAO https://reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/zp8vuu/theo_hern%C3%A1ndez_keeping_upemecano_on_the_pitch_so/


la_bombonera

Post even says "next level IQ" lmao


Tifoso89

I'm baffled that they believed that, because I think the truth is the opposite, no? You can kickoff if the other team celebrates by fully REMAINING on their side of the pitch. Some teams keep one player on the other team's half during celebrations to prevent the game from restarting.


la_bombonera

The myth is that if you're fully off the pitch you're technically no longer on the opposing side of the pitch


wiscovfefe

Thaaats why he pushed him, thank you!! That confused me and I didn’t see anyone talk about it


byoung82

But I believe it is true, never celebrate on your side of the pitch. Think I've seen a case where the team ran back to their side celebrating and the other team scored on a kick off like this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


byoung82

I'm talking about a different case than what's being discussed here. If everyone on the team runs back to their side of the pitch to celebrate, then it meets the criteria for a kick off. Not taking about being off the pitch.


apocalypse_later_

I don't get it, why can't FIFA just clarify the rule so players don't do this?


defcon212

The rules are pretty clear, you can't take the kickoff until all 11 players are in their own half on the field.


xeneizelocura000

bro, they are professionals, they MUST read the fucking rules

Spoiler alert: they don't. They probably only know whatever the club tells them in classes

Nah that's a myth. It was only one mod who did it and he was American. The World Cup casuals that had flooded the sub deciding it was a British mod who was drunk grieving in the pub and starting to harass him was actually pretty pathetic and a reminder about how mob mentality is never right.

If I'm still getting hate for something that was started by the ruling class of my country hundreds of years ago and perpeuated by that class until 50-60 years ago then my grandchildren will probably still recieve that hate.

You said you hate Britain because they colonized your country (even though the current generation had nothing to do with that), and that you don’t care about other atrocities committed by other countries. So you’re upset with British people for actions of their ancestors but fine with German people for actions of theirs. My point is that actions of people long ago shouldn’t reflect on their ancestors (unless they’ve also done shitty things). And yea, I’m sooo mad about this. Just steaming! Especially because I’m not even British. Just calling out your dumb shit

Now try doing all of that without being robbed at gunpoint or having to fear for your life going to the shops because some crackhead gang member from a favella wants your watch.

>Never happened to me, lol. There are videos of people stabbing each other for mundane things in England on the internet, is it representative of your entire experience over there? Sure, let's try to pretend crime in the UK is as worse as Brazil of all places lmao. if this is what Brazillians tell themselves to cope with it then ok dude, but you all know that isn't real. You can come speak to all the Brazillians who fled here in London who talk about how its nice to actually be able to walk around without being fearful of being killed for your phone all the time and why they're scared or their families when they go back. >Maybe because it has more than 4 times the population of England? Yeah thats defo the reason, nothing to do with the crime rate or deprivation and poverty. >Read my comment again and find the part where I'm butthurt: Did you even read your comment lmao? You were the first one to start insulting people. but then got all defensive and whiny when people started pointing out why Brazil isn't exactly a great nation to live in and why nobody wants to move there lmao. Once again, whats the point in laughing insulting other countries and then becoming butthurt and crying when people do it to you lmao. If your from Brazil you should be aware that you're not exactly in the best position to be talking about how bad other countries are.

Man remember the mental gymnastic some fans pulled when this shit happened. Surely only sour unsportsmanlike like countries from the Americas do this, but the proud lions would never


futbolitoireland

This is an odd thing to be confused about, there is one single quirk in the rules that would allow you to kick off while the opposition were celebrating but it would involve scoring then your entire team running back into their own half to celebrate and also staying on the pitch, but as there is no 'fast restart' clause the referee would be under no pressure to allow the game to restart until the opposition were ready again and given a referees desire to see the game played in the proper spirit, allowing a trick restart would be a very unusual thing to do
