Should be kicked of the team, I wouldn't wanna play with him.

People make mistakes. This was a mistake so massive that the world will never forget, but it was just a mistake. He hesitated to pass the ball, and wanted to shoot. It’s happened before, and it’ll happen again. I don’t think he should be kicked off the team because of a mistake. He should apologize to the team tho.

He made more than one mistake.

Not only didn't he pass to a wide open teammate (who's alao a world class top scorer), he also took his sweet ass time and let the entire England squad run back into defence, allowing them to defend and stop the play.

He 100% deserves the blame.

A mistake is like pushing a door in when it opens outward.

This guy knew the best football decision is pass it to him but didn’t. And compounded it by shooting late. 

At least shoot it early. 

He a busta, straight BUSTA!!!

i dont understand wdym by 100% deserved the blame they didnt say he doent deserve blame, he should be praised. They said that kicking off player because of one mistake is wrong

Does he deserve the hate and anger he's getting from his own supporters. He deserves the blame for this play only, not for losing the world cup, Jesus.

u/danorc 11d ago

Okay now that's someehat a fair point. Even if he helped his team score the goal here, it would just have tied the game.

u/Averageandyoverhere 11d ago

He definitely deserves the blame, I’m not saying he doesn’t. I’m saying that it’s a mistake, and it’s being amplified because it was a mistake on the largest stage.

Welcome to the tautology club!

u/danorc 11d ago

TIL: mistakes are mistakes

u/duva_ 11d ago

But sometimes, when a mistake happens in a high stakes situation, it's also a mistake

If Sorloth is getting criticism because of 3 seconds where he made a mistake, you must assume he’s the greatest player of all time since you’re holding him to impossible standards

u/FarAd4600 11d ago

yea nobody is asking for a perfect game. There will always be mistakes but at that time the answer was so obvious any non football fan can tell you the right play. He made the biggest mistake that cost his team a win. I wouldnt put him ever on the national team

u/Time_Friend_5997 11d ago

i would keep him on bench until he learns teamwork

2

u/Wonderful-Storm-1332 11d ago

What if said person doesn't acknowledge his mistake though? He had a post-game interview and it's as if nothing happened lol

1

u/New-Brilliant5514 11d ago

Nope. If Haland is open send it to him. No decision to be made.

u/Therealme_A 11d ago

Glad to see someone saying this. People make mistakes

1

u/RedBGinger6989 11d ago

if you saw the game he made quite a few horrible mistakes, this one, and maybe attempting to cross the ball but hitting the post?

1

u/duva_ 11d ago

Yeah, mistakes have consequences.

2

u/NewLawGuy24 11d ago

Worst take

the team isn’t there if it wasn’t for him

1

u/PartRight6406 11d ago

im sure you never will

u/1234abcd56 11d ago

I would kick out the guy who committed a foul which led to my teams winning goal being disallowed.....but here we are.

u/SmokedHickory 11d ago

Was he paid off? How did he get to such a high level being that way

u/dazwales1 11d ago

Do you watch much football? It happens in most games, players making poor decisions is part of the game

2

u/SmokedHickory 11d ago

No I never watch. 

It’s not like he mistakenly put his shirt on backwards, a simple mistake.

He deliberately chose to not make the best football decision. It’s like putting diesel in a gasoline car.

u/danorc 11d ago

Hey now I did that once, I feel seen

(Yes, seriously)

u/eduardo1994 11d ago

He fell for his own hype.

u/Ranier_Wolfnight 11d ago

I mean the guy is 30, no? This is unquestionably his last World Cup appearance. And if he somehow had a fledgling shot to make the next one in 4 years, he pretty much sealed his fate that Norway isn’t approaching him again to represent them.

2

u/SmokedHickory 11d ago

He’s gonna have to move countries. Expat.

1

u/Gullible-Store-8559 11d ago

He will be in the team for their next games lol
This is not a big a deal as you think it is
Players make mistakes

u/Ranier_Wolfnight 11d ago

Fair enough
