Thousands of stupid Liverpool fans without a ticket went to the stadium trying to get in. You'd think that after Hillsborough they have learnt a lesson, but no.

Anyway, can someone explain why Benzema's goal was offside? There was a Liverpool player in the 6 yard box covering. How the hell was that offside?

I think because the defender was in six yard box

no becasue the keeper was ahead of both defenders and kareem.
it happens rarerly so they had to look up the rules book.
but the original pass to karrem looked offside anyway.
they made it too complicated :rolleyes:

I knew it. The game went exactly as I predicted.
And I just won £110 from a £10 bet 🙂

And after 600 years of watching football I realise that I didn't fully understand the offside rule!
Apparently a defender behind the goalkeeper doesn't count.

Good call, I would have too. .To me Liverpool got to arrogant.

That rule doesn't make sense to me.
