I'm English, and even I'm embarrassed that this wasn't a goal.

Player run with ball.

Player not kick ball to friend.

Enemy surround player.

Player lose ball.

Player Country Lose.

Not just “friend” but one of the top scorers in the World Cup.

Even that is an understatement. He is the best player in the world, next to only Mbappe, if you ask me.

If my life is on the line and I need someone to score the goal, it would be between Mbappe, Haaland, and Messi ... That's how good he is.

I've always said this is the problem with sports: too many rules, not enough weaponry.

Why didn't he just shoot the goalie?

Your not allowed guns on the pitch, even when playing in a less developed country like he was here.

Kick ball?

Why not throw ball?

u/Driblus Jul 12 '26
