    What is the meaning of this article, and who is that, Victor? Today's date is May 12th, 2026, and this Victor is trying to do what exactly about an even that happened in 2010?

    I don't even see where Stephen Appiah comes into the picture it was Dominic Adiyiah who headed the goal bound ball so irrespective of Stephen's position (onside due to Suarez and the other player's position) the ball would ha ...

    This 'analysis' is mite and not of any relevance. If VAR were to available today 2 goals against GH at the 2006 WC would have been ruled out!

    This South American (Uruguayan, probably) thinks he can do this voodoo analysis and make himself feel better, ofuii!

  • Pelicles. 5 hours ago

    That Victor or whatever is name, is trying to prove that he understands football more than us.

    He is fixated on Appiah's position forgetting that two Uruguayans players were in the post.

  • Dr. Goodfellow 5 hours ago

    But who is this idiot Uruguayan illiterate. You see two opposing Uruguay players at goal posts, don't you? Get lost. It took you 16 years to cook up this blabber dash? Exactly!

    Let's move on... This will not change anything because GFA does not learn. Bring back the colts system, so that we will have more young Essiens, Appiahs, and Muntaris to replace aging black star players.

    Who is this Victor spewing nonsense? Appiah was offside with both Suarez and another Uruguyan player on the goal line and even inside the goal posts. Fake reporting. Why didn't Ghanaweb give the last name of that so-called Vi ...

    The ball was not 1st played to the direction of the #10 who was deemed offside. By the time the #10 moved in out of offside, the direction of play had change and the #10 was onside to shot the ball. This shot was intercepted ...

    This referee is smoking something.Appiah's offside position at the time was not involved in the goal mouth melee. The time the goalkeeper touch or punch the ball Appiah has already position himself on side. there after two pl ...

    The real analysis should be whether the ball crossed the line before Suareze touched. Not this offside nonsense!

  • Vine 3 hours ago

    You're right cuz from reverse angle replay one could see the ball crossed the line before Suarez palmed it back, so it should have been ruled as goal instead of penalty

  • Kofi Ata, Cambridge, UK 6 hours ago

    Nonsense, when Suraez is ahead of Stephen Appiah. How could that be offside?

    Office is not when a player is ahead of the opposing goal keeper but ahead of all the ten players of the opposing side before the ball was kicked ...

    An extremely poor analysis by an inexperienced analyst! How does an offside offence occur in football? Isn't it when an opponent goes beyond the back of the opposing team other than the goal keeper in their own half? Does it ...

    Not true. Look at the markings. It is just the camera angle.
    Maradona's hand of God goal still stands.

  • Kwaku 4 hours ago

    Yes Stephen was in an offside position because he was behind even Suarez who handled the ball. What a disgrace.

    I'm sure this referee has been hired by Asamoah Gyan to do damage control, but still, we shan't forget that penalty miss.

    Rules are never applied retrospectively. Adiyah's headed was blocked beyond the line. The referee should have awarded a goal instead of the penalty.

  • Martin A 2 hours ago

    Appiah was actually in an offside position before the ball came to him. However, when he kicked the ball, Suarez was already standing on the goal line. Eventhough Appiah was in an offside position, had he not made contact wi ...
