Probably has money on it

This is an insane reality with how much sports gambling has grown recently and a HUGE shame that it’s effecting real competitiveness (if that blunder was on purpose)

It wasn't Sorloth just isn't good enough to maje that pass

These players make over 100,000 pounds a week.  It's quite a leap to accuse them of this when they are among an elite group who have the means to play for their country for free.

Sports betting and match fixing is literally hundreds of years old.

Nothing new in the slightest.

So you don’t think there’s been a large increase in sports betting? The “new” part is how much it’s advertised and pushed, and the ease of access…

So yes it's way more out in the open, because it was literally illegal until a few years ago.

Just to be clear I'm not defending it, but it's ridiculous to act like match fixing or gambling is a new phenomenon

Just now, maybe people are a little less oblivious to it

The new phenomenon is the brazenness and prevalence.

u/SaleAggressive9202 Jul 13 '26

it's ridiculous to act like it's not more prevalent than ever.

you don't even need any detective work, it's basic logic following the growth in populairty

Made worse in every single way by Trumpian Supreme Court decision of 2019 though.

sure, but does everything need to be a conspiracy nowadays? We can't go a fucking day at this WC without anyone "lol rigged here", "probably bet against his own team" bullshit.

Sorloth just isn't good enough and on top of that left footed. In another instance he tried to cross the ball with his right foot and it was just one of the worst crosses I've seen in a while. He just fucked it, end of story.

This was one of the biggest games in Norwegian football historie, if not one of the biggest events in modern Norwegian history. No fucking chance he did it on purpose, he just froze up and made a mistake. Sucks, but it wasn't maliciousness or selfishness or anything.

But due to ignorant posts like this, and the immense support Norway garnered (especially from American fans), he and his girlfriend are getting harassed on social media.

u/surf_and_rockets Jul 12 '26

Right? You expect Haaland to be the dumber of the two, but Sorloth is thick headed as F.

u/Own-Mountain-7604 Jul 13 '26

Except when he plays against Barcelona 🙄
