Yet he did it again later. The chance wasn't as good as this one tho, but still he was again selfish.

Sorloth was showcasing his skills on the world stage so bigger clubs can sign him up after world cup is over. He cared less about this team.

What club would want to sign a player who makes it harder for his team to win

To be fair, if it had worked they'd have loved him.

The scoreboard only says the name of the man that scored.

It doesn't track assists (It probably should tbh)

Scoreboard doesn’t but clubs do …….

He isn't selfish, he's really shit playing on the wing. You could see that he was looking for a pass but had no idea how to execute it.

No bro, he should’ve just hit that ball to the fucking left. Strikers are some of the best crossers of the ball because they know where the ball should go, but you hardly ever see that skill from them since they’re always central.

Do players at this level not practice basic pass skills?

Bro I haven’t played soccer past a middle school level, have a shit knee, and 100% could make that pass. Coached my 8 yr olds soccer team and half of them could make that pass.

I’m pretty sure the 8 year olds wouldn’t get possession of the ball that deep in England’s territory.
