Anyone watching the Copa America? To make this somewhat about Liverpool, Nunez has been doing pretty well scoring a few goals.
I just got done watching the Uruguay vs USA game and I have a couple of questions;
1). Have they changed the offside rule?
I ask because the Uruguay goal was blatantly offside and even went to VAR but the goal was given.
2). Has the rules on stopping play to issue a yellow card also changed? The ref allowed play to continue while brandishing a card to a US player.
If not, seems the officiating in football matches is terrible on a global scale and not just in the UK.

The advantage given when play looked like it was about to be momentarily stopped and the American player turning towards the ref to remonstrate in the assumption that play would be stopped while the Uruguayan players ran towards goal was very odd indeed, not sure why the copa doesn't have automated offside either.

In fairness you’ll not find many South American refs who’ll find in favour of USA.

I don’t think the ref should waste time or attention on brandishing a yellow card. He should make a mental note of the players number and card him at the next stoppage.
Otherwise he’s not watching the game.
It doesn’t matter really, it’s a minor gripe.
Don’t know about the offside.

Haven't seen the game. May need to check it out.

I think they are trialling the new offside rule at copa - gives way more advantage to the attacker.

offside rule at Copa hasn't been changed. they just got it badly wrong.

At the end of the game Pulisic asked the ref why he wasn't over with the Uruguayan players celebrating. A couple of minutes later he tried to shake the refs hand and the ref refused.
