Real Madrid Are Guilty Of Premature Jubilation

Real Madrid was hardly outplayed yesterday by regional rivals Getafe. They weren’t dominated, nor were they even tested. However, they were bamboozled into believing they had taken the lead when Arjen Robben stormed through the penalty area and rocketed a close-range shot into the back of the net.

Unfortunately, offsides is a rule that’s regularly enforced in soccer and once 80% of the team realized their goal was disallowed, Getafe were 80 yards away celebrating their 8-on-3 goal they’d just scored. This is why you should always look at the linesman, then the head referee and then you can go onto sucking your thumb, or whatever it is soccer players do to celebrate these days.
