<p>In yesterday’s Europa League match between Tottenham and Lazio, Clint Dempsey’s goal was ruled offside.  In viewing it on <a href="http://www.foxsoccer2go.com/?WT.mc_id=AFF_EPLTALK" target="_blank">FoxSoccer2Go</a>, it initially appeared to be onside.  I took a screen print and then made lines across the pitch to try to see the role of the camera angle in determining whether a player is offside.  As you can see, the camera angle makes a dramatic difference in the view across the pitch.  Each of the lines to the right are exact layer copies of their equivalent color that mark across the players.</p>
<p>Unless the camera angle is exactly in line with the players in question, it is difficult — at best — to make a definitive call in a very close occurrence.  This may be a good argument for not having electronic technology used to determine offside.</p>
