Nah...Onyewu and Bradley Stood in an offside position but as Beasley approach the ball they stepped up and the defenders dropped, Onyewu boxed out Glenn I think and Bradley went on to the score the goal after being played onside. It was really bad marking getting trapped in behind. Novices. They need to square up to the attackers making sure their body position is facing up field and away from their goal so they can attack the ball. The attacker will have to come at them.
I just watched the game and was specifically watching the positioning... at the time the ball was struck they were standing in an offside position. From what I saw.
Bakes...as you tape the game, watch 2 things. 1st goal..Ching was offside the whole time. Not Onyewu and Bradley. Ching never got onside and he was involved in the play. Then..on the 2nd goal. Watch when Onyewu wins the ball it is a blatant hand ball. He completely misstimes it and wins the ball with his hand. They even show a replay and Harkes with he smart man self eh say nutten while he comments on it. That said...we were awful and shoulda colleck about 6 easy, so dem two goals eh hurting me...but they should not have been allowed to stand.
Ah know de handball yuh talking about... was on the right side (from the US perspective) and he attempted to chest/shoulder the ball down but it came off his left bicep instead. I didn't view it as a deliberate handball at the time, but it was an obvious one, not sure why it wasn't called. In that case it should have been a free-kick to TnT... but I wouldn't really say that the second goal should not have been allowed because of that. If it's the same play we're talking about I don't see it as being directly involved in the goal... we should have defended better...ball went right thru ah man legs.
On the first goal there were three players in the box (wasn't really watching face, so I'll have to check to see if was Ching) and one was borderline offside as the ball was struck... the other was a step offside. Bradley was in the clear, he ran in onto the ball as it fell... but the offside player/s were involved in the play as you said... poor defending still.

7 blessings de thing on DVR so I eh really have tuh sit thru too much heartache, lol
elan... de #3 is Makan Hislop I believe, but nah he was just on the edge of the penalty area if memory serves correct, the US player was a good step or so past the line of defense.
