We need to clear up a few things on the disallowed Antoine Griezmann goal.
It's turned into quite the mess, with the French FA complaining the goal was disallowed after Tunisia kicked off (which isn't possible by VAR protocol).
So, do France have a case? #TUNFRA #FIFAWorldCup

This all boils down to whether the referee, Matthew Conger of New Zealand, gave Tunisia permission to kickoff.
Because Tunisia did kickoff, and Conger instantly blew the final whistle.
But if Conger hasn't signalled Tunisia to restart, it's meaningless.

I've received a much better video with clear evidence, so reposting the rest of the thread to reflect this.
Here you go, the explanation of Antoine Griezmann's VAR-disallowed goal for offside.
It's a harsh decision and comes down to a complex and highly subjective area of offside: namely, what is a "deliberate play"?
In law, it's not as simple as it sounds.

This is an IFAB example of a "deliberate play" header = no offside.
It's similar to Montassar Talbi's, but with more control over the direction. Shows how complex it is.
But Antoine Griezmann's goal probably shouldn't have been disallowed through VAR. #TUNFRA #FIFAWorldCup

Compare it to this, a header which ISN'T a "deliberate play."
The receiving Feyenoord player, according to the IFAB, is offside. The defender's header does not reset offside.
Fans may think they should be the other way around.
We have been due a really controversial one.

Coucou les "coussinophiles" (bref, les collectionneurs de coussins) : voici une pièce rare. C'était dimanche matin, dans l'avion pour Doha. #QatarPostale
Et puis on est arrivés à l'aéroport de Doha. Si Deschamps manque de joueurs, les tapis pour les bagages sont disponibles. #QatarPostale
