Because it was offside?

Yeah that should have been given as offside.
only by a mile, but who cares apparently
I mean, he literally runs in the opposite direction to the ball when it's played to him (because it's a poor pass) so I can understand why he's deemed not active. Soon as the Russing makes an attempt at the ball it's fair game then.
Deliberate attempt to play the ball the key there, I would think.
Russian fans booing taking the knee pissed him off probably
You are not supposed to let that go. You have to deal with it. But once you touch it and make a mess now you have given the ball to the striker, so not offside. I kinda see it but should be offside imo.
Finland have defended well.
Did you not see the replay? He looked offside
Sack VAR?
That was offsideDid you not see the replay? He looked offside
Been impressed with their defence.
tha'ts correct. Because he made an attempt to play the ball and it came off his knee, that puts Lukaku onside thus the goal stands.
The defender interfered in the play. I can see why he counted it as a goal.
How’s that not offside?
Lukaku wasn't active
Yes. I am going by the infinite wisdom of Peter Walton.
Actually no, it can count as a goal after watching it. Thanks for the video though.
The Russian defender passed him the ball.
Shit finish by dedonkor. Good play lukaku
If that is "correctly" ruled onside then the offside rule needs changing, again. That should always be offside.
I'm surprised it was given.
Lukaku looks like a player suddenly.
He runs for the ball thus making it active. If he stayed still in offside then i'd believe it but he influences the play with that run
Your joking is that the reason they give, midfielder literally plays the ball into him
Exactly. In line with decisions we've seen in the last couple of seasons.
When the cross was played Lukaku wasn't active and after the defender messed up it was a new situation. Correct call without a doubt for me.
He looks insanely fit.
Poulsen is mostly useless in these types of games.
And the pass went nowhere near him. So he was deemed not active.Your joking is that the reason they give, midfielder literally plays the ball into him
Grown ass man should know how to stay fit.
It came off the defender but the initial ball into should’ve been offside no?
Yeah, it’s in the rules. Technically it’s onside. Wording of the rule could/should be changed though.
The ball reached him from the defender not from the player who passed it at the start. Tricky case but it's perfectly fine to count it imo.
Fixed
Lukaku clearly gained an advantage from being offside, it's absurd to me that the goal was allowed to stand.
Lukaku unstoppable
He should really be playing wing back.
Just not denmarks day today
Offside isn't really about "advantage" though. Otherwise marginal offside calls wouldn't be a thing.
