What is the meaning of this article, and who is that, Victor? Today's date is May 12th, 2026, and this Victor is trying to do what exactly about an even that happened in 2010?
I don't even see where Stephen Appiah comes into the picture it was Dominic Adiyiah who headed the goal bound ball so irrespective of Stephen's position (onside due to Suarez and the other player's position) the ball would ha ...

This 'analysis' is mite and not of any relevance. If VAR were to available today 2 goals against GH at the 2006 WC would have been ruled out!
This South American (Uruguayan, probably) thinks he can do this voodoo analysis and make himself feel better, ofuii!
That Victor or whatever is name, is trying to prove that he understands football more than us.
He is fixated on Appiah's position forgetting that two Uruguayans players were in the post.
But who is this idiot Uruguayan illiterate. You see two opposing Uruguay players at goal posts, don't you? Get lost. It took you 16 years to cook up this blabber dash? Exactly!
a very stupid senseless article.
Let's move on... This will not change anything because GFA does not learn. Bring back the colts system, so that we will have more young Essiens, Appiahs, and Muntaris to replace aging black star players.
I agree kwasia okraku has no future for the game. That guy is a major liability
Is this guy ok "up there"?
How is he offside when Surez and another player were in the pole?? Is Surez a goal keeper?
Appiah was not even involved in the play!! Adiyiah was on the other side and headed the ball over the line before Suarez scooped it out. Stupidity at the highest
Who is this Victor spewing nonsense? Appiah was offside with both Suarez and another Uruguyan player on the goal line and even inside the goal posts. Fake reporting. Why didn't Ghanaweb give the last name of that so-called Vi ...

The ball was not 1st played to the direction of the #10 who was deemed offside. By the time the #10 moved in out of offside, the direction of play had change and the #10 was onside to shot the ball. This shot was intercepted ...

This referee is smoking something.Appiah's offside position at the time was not involved in the goal mouth melee. The time the goalkeeper touch or punch the ball Appiah has already position himself on side. there after two pl ...

The real analysis should be whether the ball crossed the line before Suareze touched. Not this offside nonsense!
You're right cuz from reverse angle replay one could see the ball crossed the line before Suarez palmed it back, so it should have been ruled as goal instead of penalty
Nonsense, when Suraez is ahead of Stephen Appiah. How could that be offside?
Office is not when a player is ahead of the opposing goal keeper but ahead of all the ten players of the opposing side before the ball was kicked ...

Take a good look at the picture.Was Stephen Appiah attacking theball.mtchewwwww. He was just looking on.
Who is this idiot.
Saying this nonsense after 16 years.
Nonsense...
How could he be offside when 2 Uruguan players were in their post defending ?
Whoever wrote this is just an Idiot
Ghanaians move on ooooooooooooo toom!
During the free kick Appiah was off side but he didn't interfere or touch the ball. This referee is confused
Appiah wasn't in offside position, period! Suarez was way ahead of Appiah, who, by the way, wasn't involved in pushing the ball goalbound
If he was offside before the handball then why did the referee awarded a penalty????
Kiki,you're a genius for crying for return of colts football,you see colts football was a private affairs by lovers of football, nothing formal so after the triumph of the '91 starlets and transfers came in with attendant big ...

Colts must be revived. Sports ministry, gfa must allocate funds to subsidize what local area coaches are doing with youth soccer players..without Colts gh soccer is trash.
An extremely poor analysis by an inexperienced analyst! How does an offside offence occur in football? Isn't it when an opponent goes beyond the back of the opposing team other than the goal keeper in their own half? Does it ...

Not true. Look at the markings. It is just the camera angle.
Maradona's hand of God goal still stands.
Yes Stephen was in an offside position because he was behind even Suarez who handled the ball. What a disgrace.
Just a click bait. and we all fall for it
Useless article.
I'm sure this referee has been hired by Asamoah Gyan to do damage control, but still, we shan't forget that penalty miss.
Stupidity at its highest, u people have nothing to publish
Rules are never applied retrospectively. Adiyah's headed was blocked beyond the line. The referee should have awarded a goal instead of the penalty.
Appiah was actually in an offside position before the ball came to him. However, when he kicked the ball, Suarez was already standing on the goal line. Eventhough Appiah was in an offside position, had he not made contact wi ...

Laughable Ghana spider Web. Full of jazz: they’ll later come with an explanation, ‘’ Oh Victor meant it was ‘OFF’ like switch-off; Appiah mind went ‘off’, but his ‘SIDE’, backside went Puuuuuuuuu, as Suarez ...

Appiah was in an offside position when he received the ball from a header by John Mensah.
The analysis is not definitive. First the assumption Appiah was ahead of the Uruguayan player. Second, that the goalkeepers hand touching the ball was not deliberate. There was no VAR in 2010.
You are right. Keeper's involvement may be a determining factor. Wascit deliberate or accidental?
Tell that stupid, so called referee that it wasn't Appiah that headed the ball over the line, which was supposed to be called a goal, by the way.
With this picture?
or how was Stephen Appiah offside?
Explain to the world that you never saw two Uruguayans players in that goal post.
Lier!!!
All nonsense! Bullshit talk
Why was Ghana awarded a penalty then?
There was no VAR then, so this referee cannot use today's VAR line technology to claim that this marginal marginal one was a clear 100% offside.
