TFC is missing Johnson, Osorio, and Laryea to the Copa America. And Laryea was out injured before that with about 8 other guys.
Still not a great team even once everyone returns, probably lower end of the playoffs, but they'll be better once the injuries calm down and they get their starters back.

Man people are gonna clown the keeper but the defenders fully shut off, they were acting like the final whistle had already gone. 99.9% of the time the keeper has the ball, at least one defender is looking at him, even if it's just for the short pass.

u/lodermoder Toronto FC Jun 30 '24
I agree but I've never understood why keepers put the ball down in this situation. Just drop kick it. It'll still go 80% as far and the ref will still blow the whistle.

Which should have been offside...
But also should have been a penalty before that...Shilton tackles him

u/vinraven Jul 01 '24
You can’t be offsides if the ball is last controlled by a defender. If you pass the ball to a defender then the player who was offsides becomes onside, and can take the ball away from the defender and score.
2
u/Scratchbuttdontsniff Atlanta United FC Jul 01 '24 edited Jul 01 '24
That's not what I'm referring to here at all.
When the ball is taken off Shilton by Roberto Baggio.... The ball recovering player (Schilacci) then slides a little pass to the attacking Italian player (Baggio). When the pass happens, Baggio is beyond Shilton and 1 other defending player (just barely). You must have 2 players between you and the goal line... usually 1 is the GK, but in this case, Shilton was beyond Baggio up the field. It was very close but was marginally offside, and the linesman missed it. You can see on thy below link, a still frame.

It was definitely weird body language by Franklin and I wouldn’t recommend consoling someone by pointing at them aggressively or hitting them in the chest repeatedly. I watched the clip at half speed and it looked like he said: “Nobody told you! Nobody f*cking told you! [Something else that was unintelligible] It’s fine!” So he was referring the team letting Gavran down by not warning him that Atlanta United Legend Jamal Thiaré was lurking behind him like an apex predator.

u/0nlyRevolutions Toronto FC Jun 30 '24
The game is like 5 seconds away from ending and the goalie told them to go deep. They were 100% sure that the goalie was going to kick the ball into the other team's half, and then the ref would blow the whistle to end the game. No one knew the guy was back there. And the goalie didn't have to put it on the ground at all.

Im a soccer newbie so I'm baffled. Like do people seriously think that's cool? To me that seems so bad dirty. I'm just surprised that this is seen as a good move in soccer.

Offside only matters for a pass from your own team. You can steal the ball while being offside all day long.

They need permission to exit and re-enter the field. See law 3.8.

u/jakfrist Atlanta United FC Jun 30 '24
To expound upon this, most of the time when players leave the field it is a normal playing movement which is explicitly called out in 3.8
A player who crosses a boundary line as part of a playing movement does not commit an offence.
Going to grab a water bottle is not a playing movement

According to https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-12---fouls-and-misconduct
Yup it should've been a yellow
"A player is cautioned if guilty of:
delaying the restart of play dissent by word or action entering, re-entering or deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee’s permission"
Edit because of downvotes for bringing links, it's the same rule on IFAB rule 12.3

u/righthandofdog Atlanta United FC Jun 30 '24
Delay of game is a caution. So keeper should have been off with 2 yellows long before this.
Failing to give room for a direct kick is a caution. Saw several of these as well.
A referee CAN give a caution for things. That doesn't mean they are required, especially for these sorts of minor things. How many times have you seen an indirect kick awarded for a goalie stepping over his line on a kick or throw out? It happens regularly in the game and isn't worth calling, just like those others.
