yeah thought he was off

Great, great movement from Iniesta. He did well not turning back there.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link
um, surely Navas was "active" there

thought he was behind iniesta when the ball came to him
He was offside when Iniesta was played through, but had got back onside when Iniesta squared it to him.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:42 (eleven years ago) link
yard offside
― ༼◍ྀ ౪ ◍ི ༽ (cozen), Monday, 18 June 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
does offside apply to the iniesta pass
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Monday, 18 June 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
the first pass didn't come to him so not 'active'. Onside
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link

The 2005 edition of the Laws of the Game included a new International Football Association Board decision that stated being "nearer to an opponent's goal line" meant that "any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent (the last opponent typically being the goalkeeper). The arms are not included in this definition."[2] This is taken to mean that any part of the attacking player named in this decision has to be past the part of the second-last defender closest to his goal line (excluding the arms) and past the part of the ball closest to the defenders' goal line.

Gutted for Croatia, that Modric pass midway through the second half was beautiful. Someone should sign him.

Were Spain terrible today or just playing for a draw?
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Monday, 18 June 2012 21:59 (eleven years ago) link
They weren't terrible, I don't think, it's just how they do things. They'll come to grief eventually if they don't get a bit more direct. They were so much better with Torres.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 18 June 2012 22:03 (eleven years ago) link
convinced england are gonna win this.
modric was laughably good wasn't he.
― Chris, Monday, 18 June 2012 22:04 (eleven years ago) link
the weakness spain showed today was tactical/defensive
they can score with a 4-6-0, they played it vs scotland with silva as withdrawn cf and scored three times, they scored vs italy and they scored today (just about)
introducing navas into that formation was a bit strange but he does provide an outlet behind the defence and nobody else apart from torres (and sometimes pedro) can do that
the breaks that allowed croatia's best chances midway through the second half showed a serious lack of cohesion
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Monday, 18 June 2012 22:13 (eleven years ago) link
xabi is obviously an estimable character and an excellent player and his presence presumably reassures casillas (a bit flaky) ramos (angry retard) and arbeloa (????) but he plays at a different pace to the rest of the midfield -- he is at his best receiving from the defence, taking a touch or two and hitting a throughball or a 20 yard pass out to the flanks
if they removed him and played a more orthodox 4-3-3 they could play a forward line reminiscent of pre-2009 barcelona, with torres making similar runs to eto'o, silva providing a playmaking cut-inside option and pedro or navas a touchline winger on the other flank
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Monday, 18 June 2012 22:21 (eleven years ago) link
you're only active if the ball comes/is coming to you or is intended for you?
4-6-0 is the TMFD formation ne plus ultra
