Fred's goal is legit..in line with the ball.

aren't they supposed to give the offense the benefit of the doubt when it comes to those close offsides calls?

Well the benefit of the doubt for the attacker is not in the rules but yeah, it's in the spirit of the sport.

Fred looked very slightly ahead of the ball, it's not an offside worth complaining about.
 
It's not offside if they are not in front of the ball.

They played it to an offsider. Announcer just called it in replay. Easy call blown in favor of Brazil. I guess FIFA don't want to lose the financial support of the home team...

I am a huge fan of Brazilian football but this team is terrible and getting alot of help and nowhere near as good as past Brazillian teams.

They placed the line wrong in the graphic. He was onside.
 
It was close, probably too close to call in real time. Probably why it stood. He still looks marginally in front of the ball line. Can't blame the lino on that one tbh.
