it is, probably, the first case in history of a ref who did wrong by doing right and did right by doing wrong.

Well none of that was available when this went up directly after the game. It happens.

Goalkeeper’s off the hook, but it’s still the worst offside trap known to man.

Oh, I’m sorry–it’s a blog, so it has the license to spread misinformation. My bad!

One thing is more than clear- the ref should move to Korea and wind up drinking in a bar with a certain WC 2002 ref… .

This is terrible reporting. If you listen carefully to the video, you will notice that the referee blew his whistle to [incorrectly] call an offside, prompting Sport’s defense to stop. The referee noticed that the sideline ref did not have his flag raised, and then absurdly allowed the goal. Come on, the title of the Youtube video is “Lost referee makes mistake and harms Sport.” It’s all over the Brazilian sports media.
