We were all very pleased to see Javier Hernandez score such a cracking goal on his début but there was a hit of offside. Well, more than a hint really. With the ESPN footage failing to show decent replays, it was assumed that Chicharito must have at least been half a yard off side, given how far behind the back line he was when the ball reached him.

It has been well reported that he was the fastest player at the World Cup, but could he really be that fast? So fast that he looked yards offside but in fact had been onside when the ball was played?

Apparently so…
