How did the German referee miss such an obvious offsides, should be 1 to 0, USA, not 2 to 0, to be offside it is NOT necessary to touch the ball, the goal scorer was not offside, but it does not matter, the player to his left, another American made a move towards the ball, therefore, it should have been an offside call, which affects the entire team not just a player, NO goal, but USA cheats, favoritism in soccer

Yes, a player can be called for an offside offense without ever touching the ball. According to The IFAB Laws of the Game, a player in an offside position is penalized if they become involved in active play by interfering with play or an opponent. [1, 2]
A player who does not touch the ball commits an offside offense if they: [1, 2]
  • Interfere with an opponent: They block a defender or the goalkeeper's line of vision, obstruct their movement, or challenge them for the ball. [1, 2]
  • Gain an advantage: The ball rebounds off the goalpost or is saved by the goalkeeper, and the offside player immediately plays it or challenges for it. [1, 2]
  • Make an obvious action: They clearly act in a way that impacts the ability of an opponent to play the ball, such as running toward the ball and forcing a panicked clearance by the goalkeepe
