Probably soemthing to do with the tracker in the ball and #9 not actually playing the ball

It isnt the referee who picks which 2 to compare on the blue offsides VAR pictures and he was pretty quick to rule offside when he went to the monitor so the clear offside on #9 is the only call which really makes sense for him to be that certain of it upon looking at the monitor

Donovan actually said the same in the USA broadcast LINK

When did we get to the current state of “only if the player is directly involved in the play” is he offside? I grew up and if you were in the field of play and offside, you are offside. As in, if you are considerably away from the ball you aren’t offside, but in that croatia play that was 100% offsides 10+ years ago.

Germany scored today also in what I would have called offsides easily. Ball was passed beyond one player that was offsides to another player that chested it back to the first player who scored. I don’t see how that is not offsides.

The entire point of offsides is to not allow the offense to get a head start, it’s like they are changing the rules in multiple ways.
