Yes this is a still frame, but pretty evident they were in an illegal formation.

I see 4 (look at the shadows - there's a player directly behind the top player).

The rule is breaking the plane, right? I have not seen a camera angle that absolutely could not be suffering from parallax issues... nothing straight down the line. If anything did break the plane, it was most likely #30's fingers, but none of the on-line replay videos that I can find (besides not being at the correct angle) allow for a frame-by-frame look.

^. I already corrected myself.
