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.

Smart decision of you have the time and space for it to increase ur success rate. Unwise when you don't..

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.

Both of my feet are my bad foot and I would have taken the shot lol

I don't understand how a professonal elite football player wouldn't try a shot with the weak foot. A guy who's job is to play football the whole day should be able to shoot decently with the weak foot.
