Earlier this week I had a debate over the offside law where I said that the present implementation of the law was the best it's ever been.
I don't know who was arguing against the present offside law, but I'll just ask if you think van Persie's excellent goal should be ruled out, because Kuyt was stood offside when that ball was played through.
That's a great goal. Beautiful play from Holland and brought a fantastic goal to the game. No Cameroon player even appealed for offside and the commentators never mentioned that Kuyt was stood in an offside position.
IMO that goal is an excellent example of why this rule is far better. In the past Kuyt would have been given offside and Holland would have been robbed of a great goal they fully deserved.
Dirk Kuyt failing to be a goal threat whilst stood in the box?
Who'd have thought that possible?
