My thought has always been that if the ball is played towards an area with an offside player, that player has to take himself out of the play so as to not influence the defender. Either by re-establishing himself onside or running out of bounds. I feel that as soon as a defender is forced to check a mark on an offside player that player is interfering in play.
But from what I have read it sounds like it was a perfectly good goal by the current rules.

You should look at the replay. I don't think Navas re-establishes himself but it's very bague.

Is Navas offside?
