The announcers then corrected their mistake and said the AR was signaling a goal kick. At that level Of play, with how close that was to being offside, I guarantee the center ref glanced quickly to see if his AR's flag went up, and if it did he would have blown the whistle quickly. Once JJ Flickr that ball on, I guarantee his eyes went straight to the AR. He's not going to hesitate to blow his whistle on that stage.

Actually he would if he wasn't 100% certain what the AR was signaling. Inadvertently whistling for offsides before the shot would be MUCH worse than a delayed whistle.

There is clearly some gray area in the decision and what the intent of the ref was.

Dempsey and Wondo said they thought the offside flag was up. The match stats don't have any offside, but those are unofficial and not validated after the fact by the officials.

Unless the linesman confirms there's no way to 100% what happened, IMO. Clearly not everyone is convinced he was merely signaling for goal kick...
