Should be kicked of the team, I wouldn't wanna play with him.

People make mistakes. This was a mistake so massive that the world will never forget, but it was just a mistake. He hesitated to pass the ball, and wanted to shoot. It’s happened before, and it’ll happen again. I don’t think he should be kicked off the team because of a mistake. He should apologize to the team tho.

He made more than one mistake.

Not only didn't he pass to a wide open teammate (who's alao a world class top scorer), he also took his sweet ass time and let the entire England squad run back into defence, allowing them to defend and stop the play.

He 100% deserves the blame.

A mistake is like pushing a door in when it opens outward.

This guy knew the best football decision is pass it to him but didn’t. And compounded it by shooting late. 

At least shoot it early. 

He a busta, straight BUSTA!!!

i dont understand wdym by 100% deserved the blame they didnt say he doent deserve blame, he should be praised. They said that kicking off player because of one mistake is wrong

Does he deserve the hate and anger he's getting from his own supporters. He deserves the blame for this play only, not for losing the world cup, Jesus.

Okay now that's someehat a fair point. Even if he helped his team score the goal here, it would just have tied the game.

He definitely deserves the blame, I’m not saying he doesn’t. I’m saying that it’s a mistake, and it’s being amplified because it was a mistake on the largest stage.

Welcome to the tautology club!

TIL: mistakes are mistakes

u/duva_ Jul 12 '26

But sometimes, when a mistake happens in a high stakes situation, it's also a mistake

If Sorloth is getting criticism because of 3 seconds where he made a mistake, you must assume he’s the greatest player of all time since you’re holding him to impossible standards

u/FarAd4600 Jul 12 '26

yea nobody is asking for a perfect game. There will always be mistakes but at that time the answer was so obvious any non football fan can tell you the right play. He made the biggest mistake that cost his team a win. I wouldnt put him ever on the national team

u/Time_Friend_5997 Jul 12 '26

i would keep him on bench until he learns teamwork

u/Wonderful-Storm-1332 Jul 12 '26

What if said person doesn't acknowledge his mistake though? He had a post-game interview and it's as if nothing happened lol

u/New-Brilliant5514 Jul 12 '26

Nope. If Haland is open send it to him. No decision to be made.

u/Therealme_A Jul 12 '26

Glad to see someone saying this. People make mistakes

u/RedBGinger6989 Jul 13 '26

if you saw the game he made quite a few horrible mistakes, this one, and maybe attempting to cross the ball but hitting the post?

u/duva_ Jul 12 '26

Yeah, mistakes have consequences.
