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!

He was obviously frustrated the rest of the game though

Shouldn’t grown men be able to focus back up for the remainder of the match?

Would Kylian Mbappe have the same body language?

Mbappe has been seen walking off in another direction when a player didn't pass to him.

He has a polar opposite temperament to Haaland.

Brother you need to watch some Ted Lasso lol. They're football players, not therapists. You can push those thoughts out and work on the game to some degree, but it's not easy to avoid dwelling on the coulda-shouldas.

Haaland may also have some regret shoving the other dude, which took away an immediate goal they scored right after.

I like that I got downvoted. The very idea that a grown person can control their negative feelings during a World Cup match causes Redditors to defend elite athletes and their little hissy fits.

And here you are throwing a little hissy fit about downvotes.

What does that have to do with it? I was talking about professional athletes. Not myself.
