I know some are saying it shouldn't have been called since it was tight (but correct) and at that junction of the game. For that matter that kick could have been recovered by the very kid that was offside. The receivers may have seen how fast this kid was and paniced that he was that quick and lost focus on the kick. I admit this was a bang bang play but sometimes that's the difference in the recovery. Perhaps another scenario is the receivers may commit a foul during the kick and the kicking team recovers. What should now be an offsetting situation with a re-kick is now a recovery by the kicking team. They've been cheated out of a re-kick because we didn't flag the offside because it was tight. This very call has been ignored before in the past and you should know that the outcry was much worse than what it is now with them calling that foul.
