eli5 why that wasn't a goal?

There's automated offside technology being used that immediately detected that as offside. So if the refs decided to do a VAR review that decision wouldn't change. From a quick view I don't see the offside personally. Need to see what the tech detected there.

Any offensive player who is involved in the play can’t be past the last defender when the ball is played forward.
 

Weah’s nipple or something was apparently offside.

Yup, it really came down to the fact that the Iranian player was leaning slightly away from the goal and Weah was leaning slightly toward it. The Iranian was actually standing a little closer to the goal than Weah

sbl's explanation wins for realizing his audience :p:p

 

Dumber question, if I'm defense wouldn't I want an offensive player always past me? :p

There is a lot of complex strategy about positioning of the offensive front and defensive back lines based around the offsides rule
