No question about it. He was offside by a mile! We have a goal kick for Ecuador. Edison Mendez heads it to Valenica, he shoots! Deflected by the defender and we have a corner kick.
They can now rule on red cards when they're issued incorrectly, and they can also chime in when corners are awarded incorrectly, provided they don't delay the restart.
Delgado takes the corner. We have a foul! Oh no, Dida, the goalkeeper, has fouled the Ecuadorian player! He gets a yellow card and that will be a penalty kick!
Now what he's doing now is he's just making sure no one's going to score on a corner kick, no one's going to score on a free kick, but it's compromising on the way they play.
I remember playing football with him, and every time we took a corner, he would say, conner, conner, because he was convinced it wasn't a goal kick, but it actually probably was a goal kick.
The rattle of Perspex dugouts in the breeze, the tremolo of the diesel generator powering the floodlights, and the fury of goalkeepers abandoned by their central defenders or charging forward for a corner.
And so he misses a lot of, because he pulls his bat, and he can't reach the ball, because he's pulling everything, not just inside pitches, but down the middle and outside pitches.
