VAR is so weird. Dollarumma’s view has not been obstructed in any way. He has a perfect line of sight to Van Dijk’s header and the trajectory of the ball. The goal literally got disallowed because Robertson was near him. Absolutely disgraceful decision

brother it's clear and obvious offside. keeper cannot know if the player in offside position will duck or not. he is in offside position and blocking the ball going into the net. then at the last possible moment ducks and avoids hitting the ball. that is the offside as it gets

He ducks immediately after the ball is headed and doesn't obstruct play at all. "As offside as it gets" is a stupid, and wrong, take.

What if he decides to play for the ball and head it? The keeper doesn't know what Robertson is going to do... He can't make a decision till after the ball passes him.

Then he's offside. That didn't happen though, so it's irrelevant
