🚨 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: 𝘼𝙧𝙨𝙚̀𝙣𝙚 𝙒𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧’𝙨 offside rule has been APPROVED for further TRIALS… and it’s starting in the Canadian Premier League 🇨🇦 The Canadian league becomes the first top-flight league to test this proposed rule.

Per the proposed rule, a player is ONLY offside if he has FULLY passed the last defender.

No more toes.
No more shoulders.
No more armpit VAR lines.

If even a tiny part of the attacker is level… he’s ONSIDE.

And if this works? The entire world could adopt it from 2027/28 👀🌍

This could completely change football:
⚡ More through balls
⚡ More one-on-ones
⚡ More goals
⚡ Fewer controversial VAR decisions

Defenders might be in serious trouble…

DrYa:
Even when he scored and assisted, he was still taken off..
I don't think it's an issue actually

Lookman has to improve his defensive contributions, especially if he’s playing on the wing. Lookman got beat by Yamal for the first goal.

Gio Simeone is the blueprint for how Cholo wants his wingers to play although Gio had a poor game.

Samueltemi337:
Show me where i told you February 15th

There is no verdict . Play off coming up few weeks from now ..Congo playing . Nigeria should try next time

FIFA don forget Nigeria

This is surprising because Lookman was massive defensively at the AFCON
He marked, pressed, made tackles and even tracked back..
We were even hailing his defensive contributions here..

I wonder what happened

See how Tolu bullied Van Dijk yesterday..
Osimhen will be licking his lips in anticipation..

I love how Tolu has improved recently
Wolves have to find a way to stay up abeg..

IMO, this is a rubbish rule. They want to destroy this beautiful game

SymphonyRad:
Nah... Turkey is his pinnacle, some players are just kings of the leagues they find themselves in and can't cut it elsewhere, Onuachu should be heading to Saudi at this point in his career to cash out on his retirement money.

Temu god, setter of pinnacle 😂

Ok

I like their fighting spirit. If they keep this up they wont spend more than one season in the championship before they will be back. All this fight na campaign after election.

Na the kind of offside I grew up knowing. Not this pseudo offside where even a toe is considered offside

BankyGee:
For people who think Galatasaray are a small club, I can't find some of their clubs on this list even.

If you try this thing again

Agenda people don dey agend ..

We all grew up with this kind of offside rule naa. In our primary and secondary school days, we use VAR? No be eye test we dey take determine say person dey purely offside by being completely ahead of the last man excluding GK? I honestly dont think it is rubbish as you put it.

Omo, what the Super Falcons did to Cameroon yesterday ehn, you will think it was watching Super Eagles vs Algeria Afcon Quarters all over again. Utter dominance and fluidity. These girls are not gonna let go of that Wafcon title. Record Champs for a million reasons. If you want the title, come play beta balluuu.

Mind you, I almost forgot say na Cameroon dey house ooo. That 1-0 first game loss was a huge fluke as Madugu was definitely over experimenting plus the girls did not even enter gear 1. For 2nd game, the girls enter gear 1.5 at least lol

minfelix:
See Liverpool wey wan beat Galatasaray for Champions league, collecting beating from Bottom place Wolves🤣🤣….if Gala catch dem now and M0l€st dem in first leg in turkey, dey will now be forming mumu big club in second leg

I swear 😂

If this happens, Osimhen would score 78 goals in one season 😂

God make them approve am 🔥🔥🔥

Na Mbappe go enjoy pass. Barca's Highline no go work again for El Clasico. Lol

I got the news below regarding playoff accreditation, I think tentatively DR Congo is representing Africa but anything can change after the ruling, particularly if it favours Nigeria






"Nigeria’s hopes of securing a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup have effectively ended after FIFA confirmed Democratic Republic of the Congo as Africa’s representative in the upcoming inter-confederation play-off tournament, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

In an official accreditation notice circulated to media covering the event, FIFA outlined the competition format and confirmed the six nations set to compete for the final two spots at the expanded global tournament.

The announcement leaves out Nigeria, whose football authorities had lodged a formal protest following their defeat to DR Congo in the CAF play-offs in November 2025. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) challenged the result, alleging that DR Congo fielded ineligible players during the decisive tie, which ended 1-1 before the Leopards prevailed on penalties.

The NFF had sought to overturn the outcome and secure reinstatement into the inter-confederation play-offs. However, FIFA’s latest communication makes no reference to any amendment to the qualified teams, strongly indicating that the original result stands.

In its statement, FIFA said: “The FIFA World Cup 2026™ Play-Off Tournament will see six teams fight it out for the final two places at the FIFA World Cup 2026™, to be staged in Canada, Mexico and the United States across 16 host cities.”

The governing body confirmed the participating nations as Bolivia, Congo DR, Iraq, Jamaica, New Caledonia and Suriname.

Tournament Format and Fixtures

The play-off tournament will take place from March 26 to March 31, 2026, in Guadalajara and Monterrey, Mexico.

According to FIFA, the four lowest-ranked teams in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking — Bolivia, Jamaica, New Caledonia and Suriname — will contest bracket semi-finals. The two highest-ranked sides — DR Congo and Iraq — advance directly to the final stage.

This format places DR Congo one match away from qualification, with the African side set to face the winner of Jamaica versus New Caledonia for a place at the 2026 finals.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by United States, Canada and Mexico, will be the first edition expanded to 48 teams.

For Nigeria, FIFA’s confirmation brings months of uncertainty to a close. Although no separate public ruling was issued specifically addressing the NFF’s petition, the unchanged list of qualified teams suggests the appeal did not succeed.

Loyalty and sacrifice should be rewarded. One cannot eat his cake and have it at the same time. It's now left for Uzoho to make good use of this opportunity.

Not saying this is a paid PR but this is the kind of silly PR Onuachu was referring to.

Dude is delivering without any joke of a PR. He lets his actions speak for him.

Imagine some of these content creators masquerading as football analysts trying to push Uzoho ahead of a seasoned serie A goal keeper. Funny people

Emotional Bingos how far?

cc: Afobear They are on their way to report to World Court.

Una for wait till 2 days to play off to Decimate Dem Emöt.ional F9ine m.ale

Nnadi makes his first start for Marseille today.

History beckons again for Forrest, a couple of years back, Evangelist Awoniyi was the savior that kept them in the EPL. Forrest should trust him one more time with a starting shirt.
