Debate about the off-side rule has been rampant after Ruud Van Nistelrooy's opening goal against Italy.

Adding weight behind the claim that it wasn't a goal, Pamela Anderson didn't say, "D'uh, it clearly wasn't a touchdown."

Although women don't understand the rule even with the use of the salt 'n' pepper shakers, tomato ketchup and a vinegar bottle, most men were left similarly confused after the Dutch striker's goal wasn't ruled out.

Seemingly, the rule book states that "an opposing player cannot be offside when one of the last two defenders has left the field of play."

A translation for females is on the way. Just joking ladies!
