Def not offside

If a Mexican player had touched the ball first it would've been...but it was a Cameroonian
Tough to see for the ref from that angle though,I only saw it when they used the replay from the opposite angle

I know, but you can't expect the ref to see that slight of a deflection through that traffic.

It's frustrating for Mexico though, clearly. 0-0 at half. Cameroon dodging bullets.

Yeah,and the first offside was pretty close too,matter of inches....nontheless,two valid goals overturned

The reffing IQ of these refs is identical to JaVale McGee's basketball IQ.

Neither of the offside calls was really close. The linesman had an amazing angle on the first one especially, so zero excuses. These guys should never have been allowed close to the match. They've probably never ever ever reffed a match of half this quality.

Impressive performance by Mexico nonetheless

Cannavaro is a handsome man.

And the first movement by the defender isn't completely opposite from giovanni and that makes it even easier

From the linesman's angle, it's almost impossible to imagine how he could've even seen the Mexican player?!?!?! It's like he wasn't watching for a second.

These calls are so bad, the match looks fixed. This is what a fixed match looks like. LOL. I'm sure it's not. I refuse to believe it. But this is what a fixed match looks like.

only time i would believe that a game is fixed when it is refereed by colombians

They probably think the guys playing in yellow are still Brasil...

COME ON MEXICO! Let's get some justice served.

I hate conspiracy theorists but it makes you think why Fifa and Uefa are against introducing video to help the referees

Lining up for Chicharito to come on for the late winner
