2-0 for Slovenia is at 69:1.

Just placed a bet on it with a hedge on an England win.

hope that hedge was high enough...

I'm quite sure I know more about football than you.

But it's hard tell if he's offside by Palynka's youtube link.

That's a bold assumption.

It might be but I stand by it.

Mmm... I don't know if it's actually offside. The angle is clearly misleading as my first thought was "clearly NOT offside". But look at the distance from the goal line or the small box...

Edit - Sorry, typos

Nah, he's onside. The arms don't count. He was level with that defender. Bad call by the assistant referee.

Who cares now... USA got the 7 points for their second touchdown regardless of a poor call on the part of the umpire!

They both have their arms close to their body. I'm looking at their feet, actually, and trying to gouge the distance to the lines. And I think he's offside.

Since it is so close, I think we should give the arbiter the benefit of doubt, after all HE HAD a good angle.
