Offside rule application - Spain v Netherlands 2010 World Cup Final

After the final whistle for the 2010 World Cup referee has made an application for a curious companion. He wondered if the top scorer in the final of Spain, Andres Iniesta said, should play where in the process was offside before he received the pass from Cesc Fabregas the goal that brought. Through the composition, he felt that offside Iniesta committed before the other phase, which started the game - which does not bind IniestaFabregas's pass offense '.

To be honest, Iniesta was in an offside position in the previous phase of the game. His team-mate Iniesta crossed the ball into the area and it seemed the past, but for a header in the timeframe set by the Dutch defender. The question is whether the assistant referee Iniesta should have scored when the ball seemed headed in his direction and not another Spanish player was close to where the ball could be.

There are two ways to establish that the non-call bysecond was correct. First, Iniesta has not committed a crime simply by standing in an offside position. Second, the assistant must have a "wait and see approach in every case.

To play devil's advocate, it can be argued that the Spanish striker is the only member of his team could have played the ball when the Dutch defender lost his defensive header. But to counter this argument, the offside position is not a right of first refusal. added FIFA and the International FA Boarddo not plan to stop playing when the server is expected that a player is offside.

Intercepting the ball, the Dutch defender was not necessary for the assistant referee's flag Iniesta. E 'ironic, when he allowed the ball to pass through the Spanish, it would probably be at his side an indirect free kick won instead of conceding a goal.

Iniesta stop play, but has an advantage from an offside position before.the only way you could have been called, when the Dutch defender deflected or prevent the defender play the ball. In other words, be made a criminal offense if caught offside position with the enemy, but that did not seem the case at all.

Assistant referees should never expect a player commits an offside position if he is the only member of the team that can play the ball (and only when he tries to play the ball) is.
