Official rules say
"If a defending player steps behind his own goal line in order to place an opponent in an offside
position, the referee shall allow play to continue and caution the defender for deliberately
leaving the field of play without the referee’s permission when the ball is next out of play."
But there's no way he stepped behind his own goal line, he got clobbered there and did not get back up. Aside from that the offside rule only applies between the 2 goal lines, nothing to do with behind it.
No point arguing it mind, too late now!

n point arguing about that goal, but about the rule! nitpicks ftw!
i say the decision was right. that guy got hit by his own goalie, so the oranjes didnt even have any influence on that. ok, i see that guy probably really hurt himself, but if this wasnt counted as an offside officially, all the defenders would jump dive behind that line and pretend to have some kind of injury (you know footballers love to drop and pretend that something really hurts) next time.
anyway oranje would still have won. although the italians got a few 100% chances, even in the first half, they werent able to make use of them. they deserved to lose.

probably the italians didnt even see their buddy there, because he rolled down the edge that was there because they had to put that real lawn there on top of the plastic one.

Awesome, the Italian soccer team is a complete pack of diving spitting scumbags, every loss they have is a pang of joy to my heart!

It seems Russia are quite possibly the worst team I've seen so far...walking the ball forwards and then passing it backwards.
Edit: More great reffing for Fabregas clearly offside goal

**** Spain was even better than Holland!(even if only a bit)
Great game really! I don't think that Russia deserved a 4:1, shouldnt have been so high. But anyways at least they got their honor goal.

Greece were awful, maybe even worse than Russia were.
No support for the attack at all, so many times a ball came in and there was 1 Greek and 3 Swedes...and like Russia waited until 85+mins before going forwards with the ball.
What's the point in playing such a negative game when you're already more than a goal down. Asshats.

What. Russia wasnt bad at all. They just had a sucky defence.
They had 2 huge chances where they should have scored.
Turkey wasnt that bad either just not good enough.
Romania and france where were yawny

I didn't like the way Russia were playing at all, even when they were goals behind they were making slow progress forward, then passing it backwards. And their defence you'd think should have been corrected at halftime.

Hehe, good game. Found it surprising that Ronaldo actually passed to Quaresma(the 1:3) instead of doing it himself
