I was thinking that, he *definitely* thought he was offside. Bet he goes round the keeper if he thinks he's onside, that scoop is such a low percentage attempt, had to be perfect and it was.
Absolutely. I almost expected him to not even finish. He took out so much speed and hurry just waiting for the whistle...
Also, he did not even start to celebrate. Not even for a fraction of a second even though the whistle was not there yet until the ball crossed the line.
I did this in a school tournament too, my only ever goal for them. I was put through on goal at full speed and tried to do a small dink over the keeper and I caught too much of it and did a massive perfect scoop straight over the keepers head like this. Most satisfying feeling ever, felt like prime messi for a minute
You can tell especially because of the way he just stands there and watches it go in instead of chasing after it, in case one of the defenders is able to catch up with it.
Thank you! From the goal video, it's hard to understand how he could possibly be onside. One second and a different perspective make all the difference.
When they show the graphic, they show in video the transition from the play to the 3D render. Don't know why they always post only the screenshot here instead of a mini video of it happening since I see a lot of confusion from people regarding when they froze the frame
This is why it really gets on my tits when the commentators moan so much about an offside being flagged late. It’s worth the times where a few seconds of play are wasted because the lino just flags offside a bit late if it means we don’t lose goals that turn out not to be offside because the lino flagged too early
I hate those idiot commentators so much. Like use your fucking common sense, there’s an obvious reason why they do that. Scared of somebody getting injured when people will get injured regardless
I'm still salty about mbappe in CL against bayern, it's really similar to this play where pavard put him onside from the other side of the pitch, called offside when it was a 1v1 vs the keeper. We won but still...
Funny because on the same channel on the very next game just a few minutes later, Dion Dublin launched into a rant about how he "still doesn't understand" why they wait to put the flag up.
Like Dion, mate. Check the game that finished 30 minutes ago you wally
For me it seemed like the serbian defender had his shoulder very forward and that kept him on, he was sorta leaning, if he stood still it would have been offside.
He wasn't leaning fully towards the goal, he was still just curving his run when the pass came through. His upper body is much less forward as a consequence.
He definitely thought he was offside as well.
Wonder if he would've scooped it like that if he thought he was onside, looked like going round the keeper was the more sensible option.
When he was playing for Besiktas for the first time, he started a bit off and when he scored finally he celebrated a bit oddly. The fans were joking about he scores so few so he even doesn't know what to do when he scores. Fortunately he got his form back and played a great season for us.
Considering the sheer number of articles, interview solicitations, social media following and mentions and daily conversations in general Richarlison is getting over here after THAT goal, I am pretty sure that one will never be forgotten by Brazilians.
That goal literally made him famous to all Brazilians, not just soccer fans. It has also finally highlighted him as the most progressive player in the soccer team, which basically made half the country big fans of his.
The US commentary was absolutely dreadful as well. The exact conversation 5 seconds before they gave the goal, super condescendingly:
Announcer 1: "Everyone in the stadium knew he was offside."
Announcer 2: "Even looking again? Really..."
Yes, with all this technology at their disposal, let them finish the phase of play ie put it in the net. Then get them to check it.
No harm and if it's legit then it's legit. Nothing worse than robbing a team a legitimate goal.
I'm a footie newbie. Can you explain that please? Why would he attempt to score instead of moving past the goalie because he thought he was offside? Is it because he thought he might as well try a fun trick since it wouldn't count?
Can't see much on your profile besides Houston. But if you understand anything about the NFL. Think about it as in when there's a flag on defense, the offense will play higher risk knowing they have the free play because it will be first down anyway even if sacked or intercepted.
Nah, I'm a Frenchie who moved there, lol. American football really sucks though, sorry my gringo friends. No other sport shows you several different game at the same time because of how many breaks and downtime there are.
The commentary team being so smug about him "definitely being off" all the way to the moment VAR said good goal is amazing to me. They couldn't even fathom it being a good goal.

If in doubt, finish like you're 100% sure you're offside

I once scored a goal like this in a school tournament. Gk was closing in, no power, just pulling it upwards. One of my best football memories still.

Same thing, wanted to chip like ronaldinho but didn't know how hard i had to hit it. Just yeeted it lmao
Woah woah woah shhhhh! You never admit it was some luck. Repeat after me. "I totally meant it mate".
Yeah, from the video they posted on twitter, you can see the 4 defenders and not even the attacker lol
You can tell especially because of the way he just stands there and watches it go in instead of chasing after it, in case one of the defenders is able to catch up with it.
I practiced this for a while as my default finish in one on ones. After an embarrassing miss my coach took me aside and made me give it up lol
[Onside graphic if anyone needs it.](https://i.imgur.com/4s9tupT.png)
Screenshot from replay: https://i.imgur.com/PzxgQOL.jpg
Comical defending there, it's a diagonal line
Got the book of defending from Diagon Alley.
Thank you! From the goal video, it's hard to understand how he could possibly be onside. One second and a different perspective make all the difference.
Thank you
This is interesting to see because his upper body looked clearly off in the replay
It’s always because of the camera angle…
It could also be when exactly it decides the pass is being made to freeze frame, which I’m curious how this system does it
When they show the graphic, they show in video the transition from the play to the 3D render. Don't know why they always post only the screenshot here instead of a mini video of it happening since I see a lot of confusion from people regarding when they froze the frame
Think they now have sensors in the ball that know exactly when the ball leaves the foot.
Football embracing technology has been beautiful to see
Yep. Goal line tech, VAR, automated offside etc. I wonder what’s next.
Yup they called it a 'heartbeat' with each touch on the ball
Yup, that's perspectives for you 😌
The defender's back *toe* holds him on. Crazy. Completely impossible to ask a human to make this call with the naked eye.
I thought the opposite tbh
You're the MVP
*onside graphic
Balotelli would be proud
Shades of John O’Shea
And get sent off Van Persie style
That was every bit the finish of someone who thought they were off and it didn't matter either way, so casually lifted it over
What
He looked well off
Props to the linesman for letting the sequence of play finish
That’s why you don’t flag, I suppose
This is why it really gets on my tits when the commentators moan so much about an offside being flagged late. It’s worth the times where a few seconds of play are wasted because the lino just flags offside a bit late if it means we don’t lose goals that turn out not to be offside because the lino flagged too early
Looking at you alan shearer, Lee Dixon does it as well proper annoying.
John Hartson as well
I hate those idiot commentators so much. Like use your fucking common sense, there’s an obvious reason why they do that. Scared of somebody getting injured when people will get injured regardless
Same man. The same commentators will complain like dummies if an onside play is flagged offside too early.
I'm still salty about mbappe in CL against bayern, it's really similar to this play where pavard put him onside from the other side of the pitch, called offside when it was a 1v1 vs the keeper. We won but still...

Look at the lines, he was kept on, great run
His feet were clearly on but his upper body looked offside, be interesting to see a proper slow-mo replay of it cos they haven't shown one yet.
For me it seemed like the serbian defender had his shoulder very forward and that kept him on, he was sorta leaning, if he stood still it would have been offside.
He wasn't leaning fully towards the goal, he was still just curving his run when the pass came through. His upper body is much less forward as a consequence.
In the graphic you'll see that the foot of the serbian defender was keeping him onside.
Scoops haagen-dazs
hahah fair fucking play
the composure lol
Easy to stay composed when you're sure you're offside
The best uncelebrated goal I've ever seen.
Second best goal so far
Contender for Goal of the Tournament and he was just taking the piss lol
Is your first the Richarlison goal?
Oh yeah, not even close
We're here to gift the world great goal tags.
Most bizarre goal this tournament so far lol
Finish of a man who was 100% sure he was offside.
And 100% sure he was thinking they can't win the game
Might as well try something cheeky! Now he has a great chip goal to his name and the tying assist.
nah mate, that's pure filth
Top 2 goals of the WC so far right next to Richarlison's goal
Al Dawsari as well
There are 5 good goal so far. Richarlson, Messi, Enzo, this and that Saudi goal.
Asano's goal was very nice. Also Kramaric's second yesterday, that first touch was divine
Gavi
Completely forgot. Yep amazing goal.
Messi’s goal isn’t up there with the other ones
[удалено]
He definitely thought he was offside as well. Wonder if he would've scooped it like that if he thought he was onside, looked like going round the keeper was the more sensible option.
I am convinced he only did that finish because he was absolutely sure he was offside anyway.
Never thought I'd see the day Aboubakar was possessed by the spirit of Karol Poborsky and didn't even celebrate
Celebrated a bit after the VAR call
When he was playing for Besiktas for the first time, he started a bit off and when he scored finally he celebrated a bit oddly. The fans were joking about he scores so few so he even doesn't know what to do when he scores. Fortunately he got his form back and played a great season for us.
Up there for best goal and probably the one that will be remembered
Considering the sheer number of articles, interview solicitations, social media following and mentions and daily conversations in general Richarlison is getting over here after THAT goal, I am pretty sure that one will never be forgotten by Brazilians. That goal literally made him famous to all Brazilians, not just soccer fans. It has also finally highlighted him as the most progressive player in the soccer team, which basically made half the country big fans of his.
My man got 7m likes on his insta post after that goal. Can't imagine how popular he is with Brazilians right now
I'm portuguese and I saw a lot of stuff about him on social media. He definitely seems like a really good person.
Given the context it's easily one of the most bizarre I have ever seen.
Bizarre, yet also pretty cool though
he was like: I'm already offside so why not...
This goal is exactly why Alan Shearer needs to shut up. It is absolutely correct for the lino to wait for the play to finish.
The US commentary was absolutely dreadful as well. The exact conversation 5 seconds before they gave the goal, super condescendingly: Announcer 1: "Everyone in the stadium knew he was offside." Announcer 2: "Even looking again? Really..."
That was awful commentary, but Jacqui Oatley was - as I’ve come to expect from her - terrific
Jacqui is good!!
They are the most biased idiots I have heard. One of them straight up said Matt Turner is one of the best in the world lol
lol I just had to google him because I have no idea who that is
The commentator we get in Canada made it seem like offside for sure and took a lot of hype away from it.
Can't believe there are people who want to give room for human error with the technology we have in this WC
Shearer is a fucking idiot, stealing a living as BBC’s principal pundit.
Absolutely does my head in, as if waiting 5 seconds more is so painful
Yeah, this should be required viewing for all commentators who like to rage about the flag not going up until after the move.
Yes, with all this technology at their disposal, let them finish the phase of play ie put it in the net. Then get them to check it. No harm and if it's legit then it's legit. Nothing worse than robbing a team a legitimate goal.
Man just having fun, fair play
🤟
🤙🤙
Abou : 1 goal in WC Salah: 0 Just saying.
Feels like that chip is mocking Serbian attempt earlier lol
Except he delivered
That doesn't erase the mockery, it makes it more savage
Abubakar was inspired by that :D
No way he goes for that if he actually thought he was onside lol
I'm a footie newbie. Can you explain that please? Why would he attempt to score instead of moving past the goalie because he thought he was offside? Is it because he thought he might as well try a fun trick since it wouldn't count?
>Is it because he thought he might as well try a fun trick since it wouldn't count? Yes, basically

Show us the VAR. Had to be a bees dick in it
https://imgur.com/4s9tupT
2.56 bees dicks in fact.
You’ve messed up that decimal place
Insane finish
That’s a damn sexy chip!!!
Great use of VAR! Linesman said offside on field > VAR reviewed and it's a goal
Ah man someone gotta post the entire celebration then.
What a cheeky chip, that must’ve been very tight
Shows Milivojevic-Savic how its done.
Absolute chad finish
Cameroon Finish
How do you post faster than the VAR check for the same goal?
Qatar bought a Nasa computer
He chipped it in hoping it was on side
Brilliant finish
This is why you have to play to the whistle, half the defenders are jogging
He is better than Salah after all.
Is there a video of celebration? Would like to see when they realized they scored for real.
It wasn't a wild celebration as the VAR check took ages and they were still behind. He just did a heart symbol and carried on.
Love it, no chance he would have been so casual if he didn't think he was offside
The man said if he played for Liverpool, he could do what Salah does. And the goes on to do *that*. Ice fucking cold
not often a goal makes me actively laugh out loud
They've just shown it. He was on by an inch lol
The balls on this man
my professional [analysis](https://imgur.com/tQNgDxD)
It's impossible to tell from this angle where along the diagonal red line the vertical red line should be drawn.
SALAH COULD NEVER
Better than Salah's Puskas goal tbf
How are people debating VAR?
Unexpected, but how about his shoulder?
What an outrageous goal. He's fucking Poborsky'd him
Fifa 15 ultimate team is real after all
Like when you launch a grenade across the map and kill the entire team level of "oh shit I just did that"
Beautiful lob
Trying to back up his statements about salah i see lol
The composure to do that
Jesus Serbia's offside trap is *dreadful.* Great finish though, he Poborsky'd the shit out of that.
Thats a goal??
lol nice goal
this was insane lmao
.
Can we get a picture of the moment the ball got released?
What a chad finish. His non-celebration and look away as it hits the net accidentally made him look cool 😆
Lol he 100% thought he was offside and decided to do some Maradona shit
The commentary team being so smug about him "definitely being off" all the way to the moment VAR said good goal is amazing to me. They couldn't even fathom it being a good goal.
That is an incredibly tight call. Delightful finish though!
What a finish
Um excuse me what the fuck
That's so satisfying to watch
Zero fucks given
Ahaha the good old lob. You dont see that very often.
Oh shit it's about to get spicy out of nowhere
Damn, fair enough
And who would have thought that it would be Croatia - Canada, and then Serbia - Cameroon that would end the goal drought this WC
Does anyone have the VAR replay?
What a goal
Can someone post the longer version where we see the VAR
Maybe [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/footballhighlights/comments/z6sgw2/cameroon_vs_serbia_world_cup_28nov2022/)
Goal of the tournament
Crazy he got that far that quick, so many comments claiming he was offsides lol
Incredible composure. Aboubakar was interviewed by French TV after the game, comes out so likeable
I wish I had 1/100 of this guy’s composure
Wait no offside?
RB put him into play, this replay makes it look like he is miles off but also he did a very good sprint and the serbian defender just didn't care
Yeah seen the official var image. The rb sold
Looked a tad offside. What a goal though.
that was disrespectful af
He thought he was offside I think haahhaa
Glad that didn't go to waste
WHAT A FUCKING FINISH THAT IS!
Damn, what a goal. Amazing match so far!
Fruityloopz
Lmao even he thought it was offside. Such a great goal had a reserved celebration.
Smooth AF
Best Cup goal
Looks like even our defense was too sure it was offside. Play to whistle morons.
BETTER THAN SALAH
HE'S BETTER THAN SALAH
Better than Salah confirmed
The absolute cheek of the mam :D
Golaço!
the best offside trap i've seen in my life
Goal of the year
Aboubakar is so good. I have no idea why the guy doesn't start
Former FC Porto's Vincent "I'm better than Mo Salah" Aboubakar.
Bruh the fact that was not offsides was ridiculous, what an incredible pass and score.
