It was played by a Croatian defender back across the goal to the guy who scored. 

Good goal, Croatian assist.

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

uh....   they just showed the offside review graphic.....

 

the Japan's players shoulder was closer than the defender... was that not offside?

 

EDIT just went back and reviewed... his foot was further ahead than I thought....   ok about 1 foot onside

Yes, most of us would give the nod to the team with a full-size keeper. 

Not one that was left in the dryer too long.
