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.

When these examples were released at the start of the season, I knew these videos were going to come in very useful sooner rather than later!
