Pace is key this tournament it seems and outside their back line Switzerland have none.

Offside should also be daylight between attacker and defender. Overlap = onside

The problem is that’s arguably even more subjective than the current rule.

How would you measure that?

With the lines, as before. You now compare the rearmost, not the foremost, point of the striker to the foremost point of the defender

But you’re still going to have the same problem? 

If an attackers toe is touching the line or even a hair on his head, it’ll be offside. I think you’d still get the same arguments.

Yea you would get head to ankle with daylight between the 2 players. Then you will get end of defenders toe to attacking players heel, no daylight. Var will be zooming into the players feet to see if they can find some daylight.

Of course you will, even if you had a 30cm grey area which allows for the really tight calls - Eventually your going to have a player that will be offside by because they'll be 1cm beyond that limit meaning we'll have another tight call, which "wont be good enough"

VAR isnt perfect, and will make mistakes but thats going to happen if it exists or if it does

What people need to realise is that they're looking for perfection which is an impossibility in this game. So should stop trying to alter the rules every five minutes because what thats doing is creating confusion and more error.

It’s like Italy are in the process of inventing a new game: start at your penalty box and see how many passes to get to the other penalty area: go!

Based on the other night Italy are playing like Spain wished they still could.

Loads of great passing but with an end product.

Yeah but the distinction here is between 'kind of offside' and 'totally offside' so people won't mind as much

Roy Keane has had his annual shave

Mancini is so cool..

Italy looking really good and a joy to watch. It's so frustrating as this is how we should be attacking games rather than all that sideways, backwards shite

Haha easy mistake ( not )

Spain and England could learn from this..

Switzerland simply don’t have a clue what to do here. Italy are playing well but the Swiss really are shit.

The FA should get the cheque book out and try and get Conte as England manager. Imagine how he could get our squad playing with the attacking talent that's there

Why Conte? - Its Roberto Mancini in charge of the current Italy team

Because he's available?

We thought Capello could do the same, but was shocking when it mattered along with his out dated Sergeant Major style approach.

If I were the Wales manager I would start a very different starting lineup against Italy being already qualified I would risk my best starting 11 getting a mauling and sapping confidence from them before the knockouts

Wouldn't
