Is the lad who scored the first the one who's signed for United?

And yet they couldn't beat this dreadful French side. Who GAF which of the two poor sides was going to limp out of the WC at this stage.

I am not happy about players going offside but not interfering with play and the ball coming to them seconds later and them then scoring.
Goals 3 and 4 for Argentina looked thus dodgy.
Bring back proper offside!!

Turns out it was Shankly but I think Jack twisted it

"about the offside law, "If a player is not interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be.""

I believe Jack said "If a player is not interfering with play then what is he doing on the pitch?"
