Heinze, the man of the match for me. He has been great. Not just on set piece clearances, but also in saving the embarrassing Romero's skin on multiple occassions.

Watch the replay, as soon as the ball goes in, the AR runs up the field which is the standard signal the goal is good as far as he is concerned, i.e. he didn't see offside or any other infraction that could invalidate the goal. The referee was not in position to call offside on his own, so they have nothing to go with. The AR is going to get dinged in his assessment, as he missed a game changing call, and so will the referee, to a lesser extent, but if they do change the call based on video evidence, which should not have been shown in the stadium, they'll get into a lot of trouble to the point that the game can be protested and, if not during the WC, potentially replayed. So they're stuck with the original call as they won't be able to justify reverting it. -- HASM |
