World Cup 2010 is over (spoilers)

I wonder if people watching the game got confused because right after Spain's goal, the Dutch players started complaining to Howard Webb that there should have been an offside call. Coming from them, after the way they behaved during the match, this is not unexpected. The announcer I was listening to mentioned that, and then immediately said "no way."

I agree that it's a confusing rule and for newbies to the sport it would take a while to figure out. But I would be really surprised if anyone hired to announce soccer's biggest match made that type of mistake.
