I dont know anymore 😅

Did AFC Toronto have this goal stolen from them? It seems the referrer was calling an offsides on a Roses FC own goal, but according to Chat GPT, I'm not sure this is the right call? Thoughts? Even Tanya Boychuk was surprised to learn it was a no goal.

Chat GPT:

An own goal can still be disallowed if there was an offside offence by the attacking team earlier in the play.

The key question is whether the attacking player in an offside position became involved in active play before the defender scored the own goal.

Examples where the own goal would be disallowed for offside:

An attacker in an offside position challenges the defender for the ball, pressures them, or interferes with their ability to play it.

An offside attacker makes a movement that impacts the defender or goalkeeper before the own goal happens.

The ball was clearly intended for an offside attacker who then becomes involved.

In those cases, the offside offence occurs first, so the own goal does not count.

Examples where the own goal would still count:

A defender accidentally redirects or miskicks the ball into their own net without any interference from an offside attacker.

The defender deliberately plays the ball and the offside attacker never challenges or interferes.

One of the most important distinctions in the Laws of the Game is:

merely being in an offside position is not an offence;

becoming involved in active play is.

Under the IFAB Laws of the Game, an attacking player can be penalized for:

interfering with play,

interfering with an opponent,

or gaining an advantage from their offside position.

So an own goal does not automatically “reset” or erase a prior offside offence.

We spoke with the Forge FC assistant coach about the evolution of Canadian soccer, the growth of the game in Quebec, and why the timing finally felt right for CPL expansion in the province.

Love this from Phillipe Eullafroy's post game presser! When he was asked what is the difference with his group now than it was before he responded

"Love makes you do a lot of things"

Full quote:

"It’s a combination of many things. First and foremost, the mindset, for sure. I’d say the atmosphere within the group. We place a lot of emphasis on emotions, on living together, on getting along well. And when people get along well off the field—and they do—they feel freer to make an effort for each other. Love makes people do a lot of things. So, when there’s love in a group, well, that’s it—we fight for each other."

The guys discussed what it means to have a player of that caliber at Stade Boréale and whether this says something about the club’s direction and visibility.

Curious what everyone here thinks — big deal or just a cool moment?
