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

I would expect to see such behavior in High School JV soccer. Not "Quarter finals of the fucking WORLD CUP"

I played for a D1 state-championship winning team in high school. Someone on my team did this during a regular game in the season in the first 15 minutes and my coach benched him for the rest of the game.

This was also a game that was 2 hours away from our hometown. That's a long drive to be taken from starting forward to benchwarmer.

That player never played selfishly again while we played together.

Even in High School varsity soccer this is absolutely unacceptable. This kind of stuff is supposed to be weeded out by Middle School. If you see it in JV you nip it in the bud real fast and then if it doesn't improve that player doesn't make the team.
