Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4021478, member: 1131"] As someone who never played soccer in my youth and who is at best an uneducated viewer, I have an honest question to which I truly don't know the answer: On the last two USA goals that were ruled offside (by Morgan and Press), it appeared to me that it would have been fairly easy for Alex or Kristin to take one step back so there would be no question about their onside position, and that they could have scored the goal just as readily if they had done that. True? If so, why didn't they? Is it just indiscipline? Why give the ref a chance to make an adverse judgment call when you can score without doing that? Or is there some subtlety of the game that I am missing? [/QUOTE]
