World Cup Lessons

The first few minutes are not warm up.
The game is still on even if it is the last minute.

Fascinating game Gha vs Bra.
The Ghanan's are dominating the midfield and the Brazilians are relying on the quick counter.
The Brazilians look like they don't want to be there most of the time...

Oh, and the second Brazilian goal was off-side, twice.
But the score is still 2-0...

Ah well, at least the third goal was onside.

The second goal was only offside once, the first "offside" was actually not because he was not involved in the play at that point.

I disagree, he was moving forward with the play (and in fact a recipient of the next pass) and by his position he pulled the defence to the right, exposing them to the pass.
Second time he was also offside, only just, but clearly so.

No matter in the end.
