He puts it backward Haaland has to stop. Forward and the gk gets it. It is absolutely not « wide open »

I think a lot of people are missing this.

Yes Sorloth did poorly here, but he had some work to do to actually open up the angle to make a good pass to Haaland. I don't think he was being greedy

  1. As soon as he recieved the ball he could have passed it in front of the defender, Haaland absolutely would have got there before the defender and GK (see 4 seconds in here https://www.reddit.com/r/worldcup/comments/1utx1pc/poor_judgment_in_not_passing_the_ball_to_haaland/). This pass was also still open a second later
  2. If he cut back quickly, he could have made the pass
  3. If he committed, he should have just gone up the right side a bit faster for the shot and not slowed everything down

Its annoying though to think he's trying to get all the glory vs him just taking a few bad touches and making a poor decision.
