Why didn't the dildo ref immediately raise his flag? Stop letting the entire sequence happen and then jump in. 

Disagree.

Pretty obvious offside in this case, but many other instances are bang-bang, so letting the play continue and then making your call is preferable to stopping it prematurely only to discover on replay that he wasn't off.

With VAR, you can always confirm or overrule, but if the play isn't allowed to happen at all, it's just, "Oh, well. Too bad."

WHAT? If the offside is obvious - RAISE THE FLAG. What is gained by letting that go if you know it's coming back?

When it's bang bang is the only time you wait to make sure.

This case was obvious. Many others aren't. Would much rather err on the side of letting it play out than not.

Why is the play by play guy pronouncing all the Portuguese players' names like Sean Connery trying to speak Spanish? 

@Patricio Swayze will tell you that:

de = jay
di  = jee

te = chay
ti = chee

...in Portuguese and that the announcer is just pronouncing it the way the guys pronounce their own name.

The WTA website (tennis) has a voice recording of nearly all of the women in the Top 200 saying their name so that you can hear it and pronounce it properly.
