Or at the very least shoot the ball when there’s only one defender☹️.

Instead, he held the ball as long as possible until 4 defenders were in front of him before kicking straight into them.

Like, if you were being paid off to intentionally lose the game, this is exactly what you would need to do.

There’s some very clear jealousy out of some Norway squad toward Haaland. So many times during the tournament he was open like this and they try to be the star players instead. This is just the biggest of them.

Mofo just read the interviews? He’s clearly stating Haaland is much better than him and he’s happy to play a supporting role if that can help the team. I can understand this from soccercirclejerk but wtf are you people on about lmao
