I don't pretend to understand the nuances of football (wrong shaped ball), but I've just watched the disallowed goal and I don't get why it was disallowed.

 

Can somebody tell me what I've missed please?

I am also an egg chaser, but my understanding is that the Netherlands player to the left of the French goalkeeper was offside. He was certainly in an offside position during the build-up, didn't get back onside at any point, and was standing in a place that stopped the goalkeeper having a chance of stopping the goal when it happened. It seemed reasonable to me that it was deemed offside.

Quote:
"The Netherlands looked to have taken the lead in the second-half courtesy of a strike by Xavi Simons. But referee Anthony Taylor believed Denzel Dumfries was obstructing Mike Maignan and stopped him from saving the shot while stood in an offside position — leading to the goal being ruled out"
