How did that take so long to decide? He was a good yard offside in the centre of the goal.
He didn't play the ball though. Was he active, and affecting the French keeper, that's the decision to be made.
Of course he's active, he's standing in the the middle of the 6 yard box.
Pretty clear cut offside for me, but some of the posts on here show what a difficult decision they have some times, as clearly quite a few of us can't agree what was the right call.
Disgraceful decision. If it takes that long to decide, you go with the on field decision.
On field decision before VAR was offside. Ref gave the goal but Lino ruled it out. Then they went to VAR.
Yeah, but the linesman only raised his flag because he was in an offside position knowing full well that it would be checked. The linesman couldn't tell from there if he was interfering or not. It was a cop out.
Would've been better for us if the goal had been given as then France would likely end up group runners up and in the other half of the draw (assuming we win our group of course).

Not to mention if France lost to Poland, with Netherlands and Austria drawing, they'd go out of the Tournament.

At the moment, I’d say our chances of beating either of these teams is slim at best, so I’m not sure this result matters that much!

Yeah let's ignore that he's literally blocking the keeper from the ball next to him.
Enter the English ref team!
No surprise that the first VAR decision which takes ages involves English officials and equally no shock that it's Stuart Attwell making the call.

If there was no VAR the goal would've still been disallowed.
