Not that it would have mattered on this goal, but can we get the rules changed, such that an attacking player is onside unless there is clear separation between him and the last defender back? This "tiny bit of overlap = offside" is a bad rule. Thierry was minimally offside five times in the first half.
Maybe such a rule would get teams to try to stop trapping, and play some good hard defense.
eta: the opposite of "hard" in this context is A-Rod.

You'd have the same result under that rule -- lots of close offsides calls when teams go to the trap.
Sad to see France win on the kick after that penalty on Puyol. Sad to see Thierry, whom I like, grabbing his face after he got elbowed in the chest.
