Explain the huge controversy in detail: Chinese women's football team was killed offside? The Danish women's team scored no problem

The Chinese women's football team was killed by Denmark at the last moment and lost the first game, but the Danish women's team's killer goal is controversial and suspected of being offside, so should it be blown out?

Let's first look at the relevant provisions of the rules. According to Chapter 11 "Offside" of the Rules of Football Competition, being in an offside position does not constitute an offside foul, unless the actual match is participated in as follows:

Gaining or touching the ball after a member of the same team passes or touches it, thereby interfering with the game, or

Interfering with opposing players, including: significantly obstructing the opposing player's line of sight in order to prevent the opposing player from handling the ball, or affecting his ability to handle the ball, or competing with the opposing player, or making an obvious attempt to touch a nearby ball and the action affecting the opposing player; Or make obvious actions that affect the opposing player's ability to handle the ball, etc.

Let's look at the specifics. First of all, the moment of the high top ball of Vence, the No. 4 Sevitsk of the Danish women's football team was not in an "offside position", because Shen Mengyu's position was closer to the goal line than her, so Sevitsk later stretched out his leg to reach the ball, there must be no "offside foul", and there was no interference with the goalkeeper.

However, No. 3 Stina is closer to the goal line than Shen Mengyu and is in an "offside position", so is she "offside foul"? It depends on whether the above rules are met.

First, did Stina obstruct the view of goalkeeper Xu Huan? Apparently not, because the ball fell from a high altitude and Stina did not jump.

Second, did Stina and Xu Huan compete for the ball? Apparently not, the two are still some distance away.

Third, did Stina clearly try to touch the ball? She did have a turning motion, but she was farther away from Xu Huan than Severetsk, there was still a person between the ball, and she did not stretch out her legs, did not obviously try to touch the ball, and did not make obvious moves to affect Xu Huan's handling of the ball. Note: The word "obvious" is important.

To sum up, the author believes that Stina who is in an offside position is not a contributing factor to Xu Huan's saving error, and Sevitsk, who stretches his legs, is not in an offside position, so this goal is not controversial.
