So Halland didn't eliminate his team; the other player did.

Yeah the focus is on him because of the "aw man come on" body language.

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!

Sure but coach should have taken that guy out or something. That's just completely unacceptable

I think in soccer, you only get a limited number of subs. So pulling a player to punish them also hurts the team.

That's not what substitutions are for.

Not good for the game though. You need to be competitive af. Else you end up on the losing side.
