Wenger: England scored 37 goals less due to offside

Arsenal meritorious coach Wenger, who serves as FIFA development director, advocates completely changing the offside rules for five years in order to eliminate the "body hair offside" tragedy. "In the 1990 World Cup, there were few goals, so we decided that when the offensive player and the last defensive player were on the same level, they would not be offside, and in doubt, they tend to be offside. This means that in the case of 'body hair offside', the striker did gain. But after the introduction of VAR, similar advantages were no longer there, and England eliminated 37 goals, which disappointed many people. This is why I suggest that as long as the offense and defense are on the same line, it is not considered offside."
