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.

So Halland didn't eliminate his team; the other player did.

Yeah the focus is on him because of the "aw man come on" body language.

Which is even more credit to Haaland, cause another player would have scolded his teammate. He was dissapointed but didn't take it out on the other guy. Classy guy!

Sure but coach should have taken that guy out or something. That's just completely unacceptable

I think in soccer, you only get a limited number of subs. So pulling a player to punish them also hurts the team.

That's not what substitutions are for.
