England tried to score when Croatia were celebrating their second goal

This. So dumb. You have to pass to someone from kickoff. As soon as you kick the ball forward it's offside.

No, because all your team mates would be in their own half so can't be offside!

The offside is when Lingard passes it back to Rashford, who is both in front of him, and in Croatia’s half.

Yeah I know. But this is not straight from kick off, which is the post I was replying to.

Expanding on my reply.

I wasn't saying that one wasn't offside. I was saying it is possible to kick off in this manner and remain onside (also as the ball doesn't have to go forward) as NYC suggested it wasn't.
