How can you be offside on a corner kick? Isn't it from the time the ball is kicked you can't be past the defenders? But once the ball is released you can run ahead? I see on the replay that it was hit by Cameroon and there were two Mexico players behind him...I guess that's off sides then but that's a pretty dumb rule in that situation as they were in front of the ball for like a nano second.

no offsides on corner kicks.. if it was a Mexican player deflecting it, and Dos Santos was behind the defenders it would've been offside as the game continued after the corner kick..

but what happened here is complete bull.
