The score of Japan's Inamoto.
Do you think it was an offside?
It was definitely an offside.
You don't even get to him.
The one infront of him was offside before him.
Russia was so unlucky to have such a refree.
Was he bribed or something? Shoot....

There was a player offside but he wasn't actively involved in the goal so he wasn't called offside and so the goal stood.

Yes, I thought both of them were offside. And even if you say the goal scorer was not offside, the other player was and I disagree that he was not involved in the play. He was at the rear post in the box when offside, and this influenced both the keeper and the defenders.

But, Russia has no one to blame but themselves. They were unable to finish. They had one particularly great chance to tie the game, with the goalie beaten and the net open, and the guy missed wide.

Japan did have several chances to make it 2-0 as well thoguh so in the end I thought it was a fair result.
