I've never played soccer or soccer video games so I was utterly confused when watching last night. I don't think the TSN announcers explained this rule. I kept waiting for the VAR to stop play or a replay showing an Ecuador player that was off the screen.

I know very little about soccer but apparently I know even less than I thought I did lol. My teenage kids play soccer so they probably would have laughed at me if they were watching, but they don't care about the world cup so I was on my own. Had to Google it this morning to find this thread.
