The article discusses a debate surrounding the offside rule in football and its impact on the results of the 2026 World Cup, where important goals were disallowed due to VAR offside decisions, including Ronaldo's goal in the Portugal vs. Croatia match. A statistical analysis showed that applying the "clear offside" rule would have changed the course of the tournament by allowing 17 goals to stand instead of being disallowed. This could have led to different outcomes for the participating teams and would have increased excitement and competitiveness. The rule is currently being tested in the Canadian league, with plans to revise it in collaboration with FIFA to improve fairness and strike a better balance between player performance and officiating.
