To be honest, i've been playing and watching football my entire life and i am no longer sure i know the offside rule - the way it is officiated these days, anyhow!!
Most fans have been brought up playing and/or watching football where flagging somebody offside was a spontaneous decision made by somebody using the naked eye only.
In that circumstance you could see the decision easily going either way and on the basis of the general "benefit of the doubt" to an attacker Kane would likely be judged onside.

WTF is the keeper doing? Said it before but the maths just doesn't stack up for making decisions this tight using VAR. Once you factor in the frame rate and speed the ball & players are moving at there's a significant margin of error. Needs something similar to umpires call in cricket.
so Question
You can only be offside with a part of the body that you can legally score with (cant be offside with your hand)
Can an opponents hand play you onside?

I did think it was a goal when I first saw it, but then of course on the replay I could see there was only the one defender, Rudiger, in front of Kane. I didn't spot that live at the time.
Unbelievable that so many seemingly don't know the the rules. As someone said on Twitter, that rule has been in place for over 100 years.
