Almost all of Villa's body is visible in the offside postion. I'm thinking the linesman didn't notice it was a back heel pass from Xavi and thought it was the original pass that got thru to Villa.

Well, at least I got something to whine about for the next few years.
That's real close but at full speed I think that you have to give the assistant ref the benefit of the doubt there.

It's not blatantly offside a la Tevez's first vs Mexico. Also, Portugal didn't have a perfectly good goal not counted either. Bottom line, your whining isn't warranted, VAN!
