Although if you come back on side to play the ball, should it really be considered offside?

Really?
I don't blame VAR on this, I blame the stupid guideline that linesman shouldn't flag even obvious offsides. Pre-VAR that gets flagged immediately and no one raises a fuss.
Switzerland are very solid defensively. Might not make for exciting games but it's good coaching
Antony 
Really what?
Richarlson can be excellent and then very below average.
Our Ant'ny coming on.
Bundesliga midfield FC, I mean, the Swiss NT, is holding up pretty well.
But he didn't flag up after the goal was scored so the goal would've been given.
You’d just have boys standing offside if not..
Bring Martenelli
Yes if the initial position was
Go Antony!
Jesus and Antony, now Brazil will score.
Once the goal was scored he never would have anyways as it goes to VAR immediately.
The linesman didn’t notice the offside and continued play as normal. It was VAR that stepped in and overruled it.
I know he had a good finish against Serbia, but Richarlison as the main Brasil number 9 is hugely anticlimactic. I like him as a personality and player - mainly for his work rate - but he doesn’t have enough quality.
What a bench
This was much closer to the usual Richarlison experience than the first match.
And what would the drawback be if they couldn't be passed the ball unless they were on? Im obviously missing something but can't see it.
Every player in the Swiss team either has or will play for Gladbach at some point in their life
Yes if the initial position was
Yeah but why?
What would be the point of staying there ?
I consider him to be the very definition of average.
It is known
The coupe soleil is really big in Brazil it seems.
It’d be a nightmare to ref..
I am honestly confused, I don't understand the question
Casemiro seems to be the only Brazilian capable of making a completed forward pass.
This ball doesn't slow down.
No idea what you mean by that. Your question seems irrelevant.
I'm talking about a situation like the one we just had. Richarlison drifts offside and then runs back onside to play the ball. What is the advantage he had from being offside such that he should be punished?
Wonder if the Brazilian fans in the crowd are actually Brazilian?
Asking for a yellow, god I love Antony, such a classy guy.
Raphinha and Paqueta too, can’t trust a Brazilian who chooses to play Moyesball
Give Antony a yellow for that, idiot asking for a yellow.
Surely the stadium capacity is way below a brazilian
It was a yellow though?
You just don't ask for that.
They're still going on about the fecking spin????
