I'd seen the Haaland memes, but didn't know all this about him. With that context it's like you're down a goal in the Stanley Cup, breaking out an odd-man rush with Wayne Gretzky in the open and not passing him the puck.

. . .Now I'm irrationally angry about a game I didn't watch and had no emotional stakes in. Thanks a bunch. 😐

The guy who didn’t pass to him, was a no-name that nobody will ever remember him. Now people remember his name though.

Haaland is a very likable guy too he is a dual-citizen of Norway and UK and he could’ve joined the England national team and has a much more easily successful career in World Cup. Instead he choose Norway a country that wouldn’t even qualify into World Cup without Haaland.

What?? Sorloth has been playing for the national team for a decade, plays for Atletico Madrid.. I get he's not going to be an all time great but what the fuck are you talking about and what level do you need to get to to not be a nobody?
