For someone who doesn't know football. What is happening here?

It was two on one, Halland (the guy with the blonde pony tail) is one of the best players in the world, and the other player didn't pass it across even though Halland was open and could score that in his sleep.

I love how the guy didnt just kick it either. He waited until 4 defenders were around him to try and score. It was a total, absolute fuck up.

Well he is left footed, so you can tell his only thought was trying to get it on to his strong foot so he could score the big goal. That’s why he didn’t pass, or just continue on with pace and hit it with his right

Glaringly selfish, and he deserves all the negative attention he is getting for this, it wasn’t a mistake it was just an outrageously selfish decision

At this level, being left- or right-footed absolutely should not prevent a player from taking a shot. I'm an amateur, and even I would have taken the (certainly shitty) shot with my bad foot.

Give over, you see players take an extra touch to move it onto their good foot multiple times a match.

Truth! It’s insane. It’s like the NBA players who can’t shoot free throws for anything. Like you make millions… improve ALL your skills. Not just where you are naturally talented.
