.
>>156651219Lad just wanted to score one in a world cup match. Can't blame him for wanting a crumb of Haaland's fame.
>>156651219It's crazy how many professional players can't pass a ball, let alone lob it or a cross. Even in the best clubs
>>156651219maybe this is why he wanted norway to lose
>>156651219If the dude was black racists would go crazy right now hahaha Whitoid tried so hard to make a legendary goal that end up ruining their team counter-atack
>>156651219I blame media. They've been going WHEN IT SØRLOTH GOING TO SHOW HOW GOOD HE IS AND SCORE for fucking weeks.
>>156651317Then why did he wait for the defenders to get in position?
if i was norways coach i would immediately substitute him after that play, you cant have people like that in your team
>>156651219Yeah this genuinely just lost them the match, fucking insane decision to make in a WC quarter finals tie
>you shouldve passed it to ME so i could do NOTHING with it
>>156651219>haaland pointing at the ground in front of himkek
>>156652141Bro that's cope, he's good at putting the ball in the net and he had an insanely good position
>be shitter>put your own glory above the team>don't fucking pass to your teamateMany such cases
>>156651219dumb white boi ngl
>>156651778you have a mongrel complex
>>156651219A tragic tale of Pride and Envy
>>156651219>arise sir sørloth
>>156651422Sorloth is a target man like Haaland. He can't do anything a winger should do.
>>156651219
>>156651219HOW do you fuck this up
We were dusted at 2-0 too
>>156651219Blud thought he was LCIM.Pathetico players ladies and gentlemen
This was when Haaland gave up. The rest of the match he was protesting and phoning it in.He said to himself for fucking up such a clear shot we deserve to lose, so because his team didn't act as a team and give him the ball when it was the moment to do so, he stopped playing in the team and just walked around and let the 'team' play without him, since they didn't need him there for that.That's why he was so quick to hug Bellington at the halftime, he was basically like you guys should win this my team is fucking retarded.
>>156652456It was never 2-0
>>156651219success went to his head, he thought they were more than hoof it to Haaland
>>156652385kek
>>156652548I know retard, I mean if he squared it to haaland its guaranteed 2-0
>>156652531me on league
Fucking retarded social media generationEndless coping and bitching
>>156651422fitness is so important now it filters out people with good decision makingneed to have olympic 10k runner level endurance + 100m sprint level acceleration before anyone even starts thinking about skill
>>156652273Leroy Sane comes to mind.
>>156652141There is zero chance Haaland doesn't score if he gets the ball in that position. It's on his favoured foot and there are no defenders in his way.
>>156652653Nope. It would've been VARed.
>>156652124It wasn't even a tieNorway was up 1-0This would've make them go 2-0 and it would drastically change the mood of the match and England's morale afterwards.
>>156652141>Tf>TpRetarded, full stop
>>156651219clearly FIFA rigged it by sending telepathic signals to sorloth to tell him to fuck it up
>>156651219i rarely watch this sportwhat should've been the play?i'm assuming blue?
>>156652848Matches are called "Ties" in certain places, that's what he meant by it. This was a WC Quarter Final Tie between the Norwegians and English.
>>156652716Damn, I miss the out-of-shape drug addicts on the field playing for fun with magic tricks and skills.
>>156653015You slow down and give a nice through ball to haaland. So it would be slowing down, and going with the Red line. Alternatively Blue works as well so long as it's not overdone.
>>156653086Jogo Bonito died unfortunately. The South Americans that peaked at 25-27 but did some some incredible stuff. I miss it so much too.
>>156652653Nope, cause it was never 2-0
>>156652761What, like Kane's goal and our denied penalty?
>>156652531He remembered where he was born, wholesome. Honestly he should change citizenship and join us in the semis
>>156653233Just running fast and kicking it hard doesn't hit the same. Honestly all players should train in a martial art like how Zlatan did Taekwondo so he could at least do cool scissor kicks and stuff
>>156653147i see i see
>Guy wants to score and doesn't pass the ball.Thats a tale as old and the sport itself. It happens all the time in profesional matches.Just the usual forward retarded behavior.Is still sad to see for the other players, this would have changed the entire match.
>>156652124Yup, that would have ended the match.
>>156651219Woah, lmao, why is this bum playing professional football at all, he plays like any 40 year old in my country or even worseHe must hate Haaland or something, what the actual fuck is this Hahahaha what was the manager thinking when he called himAny brazilian looks like he is dribbling at the speed of light compared to him, where does he even playDID ENGLAND PAY THIS BUM? THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SHOCKING FLOPS IN RECENT WORLD CUPSThe American goal keeper Mistake is nothing compared to this
when this happened i knew it was inevitable we would squeeze our way back inwhat a colossal fuck up that was
>>156651219it's unreal how much of a game changing moment this was. You just knew they were going to lose after this
>>156653015Blue only works if you’re skilled enough to pass a weighted through ball with some curve. Most are not, which is why players like Messi, Zidane, Toni Kroos and Modric were/are so awesome.
>>156651219God forbid a nigga having some confidence
>>156653015He ruined the momentum he had because he didnt have the explosive force or dribbling ability to beat the defender, he wouldnt be able to put in the net either because he literally ran towards the defender and the reason why he did that is either because he is a fucking coward that shit himself or because he's just that bad and prideful, honestly with a striker like Haaland the wise decision was just to pass the fucking ball, you can larp as brazilian after taking the game not playing with fire like this retard did
>>156651219they could've done an exact replica of Di Maria's goal vs France in 2022 bros...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kutz0UJExSU
>>156655172At no moment he tried to score, he didnt kick the ball towards the net, when the defenders were on him he simply rage-quitted by kicking it towards the body of a defender instead of keeping it and passing to other team mates after he failed the dribbling attempt
>>156653015The only possible answer would be a slight cut in or accommodate the ball for his left foot to make a quick pass. Either way the ball has to be behind the defender>>156653147He fucked up because he slowed down tho
>>156653015First time red pass with your right foot curl it around the defender. Otherwise play blue where you cut back and play it behind the defender into haaland's stride and the defender's momentum will leave him in his blue position.
>>156651219I guess this is why you have a striker and a winger and not two strikers
>>156656764Did you even watch the clip? He literally ruined everything because he wasnt confident enough, at no moment he tried to beat the defender, he just changed direction while the defense was gaining positioning
>>156653015Blue optimal.Red if you are scared.Keep going FORWARD and kick it yourself.Literally any would have been a better option than what he actuall did.
>>156651976coach was the idiot who had him playing the wrong position all tournament, so i doubt he'd sub him for this. sorloth is a striker who should have just scored on his own anyway but he hesitated or something and really fucked up.
>>156657196I thought that strikers were supposed to be fast and have skills, not slow ass bums that play like they are with friends or somethingRonaldo Nazario is a striker, this is the truth level of Norway football I guess
>>156651422they can but its all rigged like WWE
>>156653015Literally any of these would have been fine instead of what he did, which is nothing. Passing to Haaland would have been the best option, obviously. Have to be the worst brainfart moment of the tournament. Worse than that american goalie fuck up.
>>156653015Another way, if hes not confident he can make the pass, is to turn towards haaland like hes abt to pass him the ball, bait the defender into coming towards him, then turns towards the goal
>>156652718Don't compare King Sorloth with the shithead that is Sane
>>156653015fuck, even a screamer directed right at the goalie would have been forgivable. what he ended up doing was so disgustingly stupid he should be blacklisted from football.
He has a Jewish name
he did literally NOTHING in the gameimagine being so ineffective NORWAY sub you out
>>156651219the worst part about that is that any other option would have been better than what this retard decided to dopass behind stonespass in front of stonestry for a striker in the top corner pushed it forward and tried for a far post strikebut instead he just waited for the defense to catch up i legitimately don't understand, it's not as if this was even late in the game so he shouldnt have been that tired to think
>>156657671He tried to bait the defender Mbappe-style while having no intention to burst into any direction or at least cut it or shoot it, its like he was shocked and lost he found himself in that type of situation
>>156653015>cutback>play Haaland through immediately behind the CB or>hold up and play it right of the CB to give the Keeper a do I don't I murderball penalty or chip humiliation dilemmaGiven the outcome, shooting over the keeper then and there was preferable for grugbrain glory hounding. Can't account for English CBs - after play being stopped to caution their manhandlong bullshit on Halaand specifically - reverse diving on a shove being VARigging a goal.
>>156656764He didn't have confidence, that's the entire point of the play. The moment the defender caught up with him he slowed down and tried to dribble, and at that poit a fucking wall was defending the net. If he just went with the momentum, tried to bloot it and failed, it wouldn't have been such a massive fuckup because at least he TRIED.
>>156651219That is literally a free goal
>>156653015>what should have been the play?nothing, it was over when Haaland touched ngubu (((in the buildup))) and he dived
>>156658299lmao my dude thought he was hot shit
>>156651219I just woke up, can someone link me archive of the thread of this moment when it just happened?
This boils my blood. How do you fuck this up like that
>>156658299Fucking hell it's even worse from this angle. Nobody's going to be buying him a pint any time soon.
>>156652767based
>>156651918because it's not an impressive goal if there's no defense
>>156651219Penaldo moment
>>156651219looks like england put red ants in his shoes. he couldn't concentrate.
>my favorite football player is Ronaldo
>>156651219Real life blue archive?
>>156658299Oh my fucking god
How bad is that compared to what our goalkeeper did?
>>156658299Holy shit what was he even thinking there?
>>156658299Christ, I could make a better decision than that and I'm American.Gotta hurt to be Haaland and watch your dreams of playing for the World Cup get spoiled by idiots.
>>156660629I highly doubt anything can top up how dumb that wasExcept maybe the Brit who played 0 minutes and got a yellow card and injury
>>156658299This dude plays like a fucking middle schooler in football practice. Looking at the ground with his head down and all.These guys are paid MILLIONS
>>156658299The orgre checked out here and said if we lose it is what it is
>>156658299HOLY TUNNEL VISSION
>>156651219200 IQ move, you have to be a genius to understand it
>>156658299I dont get why this guy was hyped up so much by the media when he basically did nothing the entire WC, and threw that goalHe even sperged out and started a fight with the coach when he got substituted against brazil, so clearly he thinks hes the next ronaldo
>>156660512explaint. BA chad
>>156661299Sorloth was hyped? I didn't even hear of him until now
>>156661315I'm retarded meant to say Blue LockFucking Freudian slips I don't even watch it or play it
>>156660889>This dude plays like a fucking middle schooler in football practiceThat's probably what happened, the middle school emotions of scoring a WC goal suddenly became reality - but brought along with them the middle school play and decision making.
>Sorloth answeredSorloth answeredhttps://x.com/i/status/2076101183853203506
>>156651219Did Haaland get a single pass in this game?
>>156661390Countries hype their own players, so he was prob talking about norwegian media.For a small country that came back to the WC after 28 years, Sorloth must be seen as a great player
>>156651317Bullshit unless you have the killer instinct you should pass it. Argentina understands that Messi is the one. Why can't other teams get that?
>>156661541>I didn't see himSo it was tunnel visionShame. I feel bad for him and our GK Freese continues to be the KWABott
>>156657266any option would have been good but he hesitated and gave time for the defenders to catch up.
>>156658299I only see shit like that in kids under 8 matches. The fact that he hesitated before taking the shot just shows that he thought about passing but he got nervous and that split second fucked his team over. Haaland gave up after Bellingham's goal.
>>156661541>I didn't see himNo shit, why were you looking at the fucking ground?
>>156661541where else would haaland be in that situation
>>156662039No vision he thinks he's that guy.
>>156651219More like Soursloth
>>156658299Oh man, they couldn't even VARed this shit if he passed. 100% goal
>>156651219WIREwhere is VAR when you need it?also shit play
>>156652531>He said to himself for fucking up such a clear shot we deserve to lose, so because his team didn't act as a team and give him the ball when it was the moment to do so, he stopped playing in the team and just walked around and let the 'team' play without him, since they didn't need him there for that.I know that feel all too well
>>156651219>white players are infront of red playersisnt this offside
>>156662445HOWEVERthere was a foul in the buildup
>>156664743You can't be offside if you're on your side of the field/if you're defending.
>>156651317yes you can, theres no i in team
>>156662242yeah lol, he trains with haaland every day for a month and doesn't expect him to make the runs a world class forward would make.
>>156651317>>156651422It's not ego, but simply the lack of composure and class.Sorloth is a B-tier striker in a B-tier team. he doesn't have the necessary skill the be calm, scan, assess the situation and decide to pass over shoot in this kind of high stake, split-second situation.
I think footballers are fucking retarded nowadays, people would lynch me in high school if I did something retarded as that
>>156658299Incredible.
>>156658299From 0:01 to 0:06 not once he looked up. Eyes on the ground all the time.Messi = meta visionRonaldo / Mbappe / Haaland = predator eyesSorloth = tunnel vision
>>156658299Bro sees the ball and nothing else
>>156651219no. 7>doesn't pass the ball>is selfish>bottles a easy goal>jealous of halland memes>be cr7>picunrel
>>156653086anti drug and doping tests ruined football
>>156651219Kek
>>156651219I'd unironically cut him from the team
>>156658299Honestly if I’m a bench dude watching this shit im more pissed than haaland pass the fucking ball
>>156651317I don’t think so to be honest he’s pretty tunnel visioned on the ball and trying to beat the defender first. It’s not like he took a real shot on goal Rather than being desperate to score a WC goal and be a hero I think he failed because he just sucks in general
christ if he want to score why didn't he knock the ball and sprint
>>156651219Thank god this leliga shitter made us go through kek
>>156651219It do be like that, but did anyone clip the bong player kicking the norwegian, then flopping, and getting rewarded with a free kick for his efforts?
>>156651219>can't put ego aside in a moment like thisIncredibly weakmind. Cost his country the ticket to the semis.
>>156668340>Messi = meta visionThen what are Riquelme, Zidane, Pirlo? Ultra instinct?
>>156658299grim
>>156651219This makes ME mad, Norwegians must be fucking FUMINGIf he passes Haaland scores 99/100 times
>>156651219It would have ended 2-1 for norway jfc
>>156651219>>156651317I wonder if this will cause any bad blood. Both of them, along with the goalkeeper, are the biggest culprits behind Norway's defeat
>>156651219>let me slow down for the defenders to catch up>this way it'll be fair
>>156651219He kinda lost the opportunity to pass with the first touch. Then the defender was in the way then the second caught up
>>156658299GRIM
>>156661641Messi would have passed the ball there.
>>156676477Haaland and Nyland are also the biggest reason they made it this far.No saving Sorloth though.
>>1566512193 business days to not even pass to haaland
>>156651219lmfao you can see the frustration from haaland
>>156676933You can see the moment he knew they are going out. Missing shit like this is like an omen in football. Its like the footballing gods decide to punish you
>>156658299Bruno Fernandes mentality
>>156676477They're smart, they knew they were out of their depth. Not the same thing scoring 10 goals vs small European teams vs scoring to England
>>15665276718th post best post
>>156676477how tf does he make haalan look small
>>156677106Yeah, the Norwegian team seemed quite mature overall. Although these kinds of disasters can really mess with your head. I hope Sørloth is okay.Haaland also screwed up once, but it was less obvious, and he'll recover after scoring a million goals in England.
>>156658299What's the Nordic punishment for someone who puts himself above his tribe's wellbeing?
>>156651422Nigga, these people entire life is playing footy 24/7 and get paid millions for it. No matter their position, they all should be able to do a pass like that.
>>156658299betrayed their own gameplay.
>>156653015Only needed to do this
>>156676477Yakub's first gen offspring
>>156657196I would like to imagine soccer players know how to play soccer.
>>156658299He had money on the game. Only explanation.
>>156677913He's left footed.Passing on the outer edge of your foot is too much dexterity to ask of a 6'5" striker who was recruited for his set piece prowess. The bigger brain fart he made was not shooting when 1 on 1 with the keeper. Trying to cut inside and shoot like Mbappe or Robben is genuinely retarded when you're a lumbering giant.
>>156651219>nordgubu with no end product
>>156658299Haaland would have probably done the same, both like 6'6 ogres with tunnel vision eyes
>>156653262Making ngubu trip themselves and dive is penalty worthy
>>156652422The english defender was just in the right position to make him doubt.Like those chess excercises where it seems impossible to defend against two seemingly well positioned and powerful pieces.
it was 2 on 1 with haaland being the other guy basically a guaranteed goal unless keeper did an out of the world save
>>156652422AURA
>>156661541this is bullshit any time you get the ball you know where your striker is, its fucking first instincthe had a rush of blood to the head and thought he was Haaland for a minute. his gf is probably in his ear telling him hes better than Haaland as well
>>156678367All he had to do is either move up a bit and immediately pass to Haaland or move down and run and then pass to Haaland. Both choices work. The problem is that he waited for the english defenders to come back and then ran directly to them lmaoo
>>156658299>"this fuckin guy man"
>>156651219>>156678571>>156678571team went way farther than they believed they had business going, these kinds of mental fuckups are to be expected. England played poor and they would've clinched it with strongmvnd. I think simulate this 4/5 times England would win
>>156652141gravesen vibes
I'm a soccer casual, what should he have done? I assume he should have passed but when?
>>156679186he was completely in his rights to go for goal himself, he just shouldn't have started slowing down before he even had the ball
>>156651219>used his handswell well well
>>156679186Two options.A. Continue accelerating and shootB. Through pass to the open grass diagonally in front of him. Haaland was not offside, would accelerate, get the ball, and go 1v1 with pickford. The exact moment to pass was seconds before haaland gesturedThere's no way he had tunnel vision and didn't see haaland. If he genuinely didn't see anyone, he would choose option A. Since he decelerated, he was thinking of option B, but analysis paralysis got him and the rest is history. This split second decision making is what separates elite strikers and 2nd tier strikers
Interview to sorlothhttps://x.com/i/status/2076118037762052234
>>156658299KEK poor haaland
>>156658299My god
>>156675283he was clearly talking about players in this world cup dingus.
>>156679820>it was really his egoFucking pathetic man. Haaland is a WC champion player, but his team is not.
>>156679820>I'm a little bit more experienced
>>156680005>runs back on shame Probably holding back tears.
>>156679820>https://x.com/i/status/2076118037762052234What a weak-minded little bitch.
>>156658299Haaland not used to playing with bad teammates.
>>156651778Blacks shouldn't be playing for european countries.They have a beautiful continent called Africa with dozens of countries there.
>>156666260>>156652392Do you guys really can't see how stupid what you're saying is? Sorloth is a professional football player, he's not a fat lad on a sunday league. He's playing on a World Cup quarter-final, he regularly plays on the top league of the spanish football for Club Atlético de Madrid. And you are saying that he can't do a simple cut inside and pass? That he doesn't have the vision to understand that passing the ball to his free team mate is the better option? This is just absurd.
>>156680322>Club Atlético de MadridB-tier team>And you are saying that he can't do a simple cut inside and pass?he missed a straight pass to Haaland before https://x.com/TheHateCentral/status/2076081196442718263>That he doesn't have the vision to understandhis head was LOOKING DOWN the entire time. So yeah, no vision.
Sorloth seriously thought that this was his moment, he was going to score and have his rightful praise from his countrymen.After all in his mind he's the starting striker for a big club, just like Haaland is. Shouldn't he get the rewards as well?
row-ACK
>>156676477>along with the goalkeeperGoalkeeper won't be on the national team after this is my guess, it'll be Sander Tangvik from now on, he's just better and younger.
>>156651219England cheated in whole match
>>156652403>I can only make a point with tiktok manKill yourself.
>>156680405You have to be retarded. What I'm saying is that a player of his caliber regardless of his fucking field tactical position of striker, winger or even fucking ass-sniffer, should be able to either: A) Keep running at full speed past that defender and explode the ball point-black at the net.B) Do something that even the most untalented legless player from Seychelles Islands can do, which is to cut inside and pass. C) Keep running and pass the ball sideways to Haaland.What you're saying is that he did a mistake because he is being played out of position. I'm trying to tell you that he had all the necessery skills to do that pass, but he didn't do it, because he's an asshole and wanted to have all the glory for him.
the White man marc-
>>156658299He could have done literally ANTHING else and it would have been a better choice than just freezing like that.
>>156679820Haaland should get this fag kicked off the team for this.
>>156680005Even if he 'didn't see him' he should have just fucking shot the ball instead of dribbling like a nigger letting their entire team catch up. What a retard.
>the entirety of /sp/ has come together to shit on one dude no matter who you support
I’ve just saw the repetition Bruh WTF this is the most retarded shit I’ve ever seen in this WC
>>156680753what I'm saying it's not ego issues, but skill issues. he lacked class.
i dont watch soccer but why didnt harland just create his own scoring opportunity like rodaldiho?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww6wPO9e5b4&pp=ygUScm9uYWxkaWhubyBibHV0dWJl
>>156682143>Bruh WTF this is the most retarded shit I’ve ever seen in this WC
>>156651219This guy didn't belong on the team. Why would you put a heavy 6'5 centreforward as a winger? It's fucking bizarre. It's the coach's responsibility that this happened.
>>156651219This is cope from Haaland, there is no point in this situation where the pass back to him is easy for Sorloth. Haaland is slow and too far back from the moment Sorloth recieves the ball. The pass angle is blocked off and England's defense is sprinting back just a split second behind Haaland.To make a pass possible, Sorloth has to slow-down/stop and lose the advantage (which he ends up doing), or he could charge straight at goal and take a proper shot, which he should have done.
>>156682409>haaland is slowlmfao, never mind the fact that haaland is extremely fast for his weight and position he plays you can see him slowing because otherwise hed be offside, this was 95% a goal if haaland got the ball.
>>156682442i've been back through the webm frame by frame and can't find a single moment where that pass was viable, the angle was simply closed off for the whole incident. The best thing would have been to go 1v1 with the keeper but Haaland's presense meant that Sorloth wouldn't even consider it. Sad really.
>>156653015
>>156682409It's an easy pass in front of Haaland if you aren't good enough to do a proper weighted pass. Even then it's 95% Haaland will get to it before the defender (who would have his back to the ball and have to turn around), and Haaland is fast.
>>156682574people aren't talking enough about how well it was defended, literally positioned himself perfectly in a 2v1 to close the passing angle on sorloths right foot
>>156681039He wasn't dribbling he was trying to get the ball to his left foot which is the only foot he can use
>>156682597>It's an easy pass in front of Haaland the angle directly in front of Haaland is blocked throughout this entire situation, the defender was doing his job excellently>if you aren't good enough to do a proper weighted passHaaland is much too far back to make this the obvious choice, the distance he would have to cover is ridiculous, by the time he levels with Sorloth, England's defence is practically back in the box>>156682619agreed
>>156651219>>156658299>>156680005Olise, Dembele, Mbappe, Doue or Barcola would've made that pass
>>156682660a top player probably finds a way to thread that ball through, whether its by the outside of the foot or a quick shift onto his left foot to open up half a yard of space but sorloth doesn't have either of those in his locker (especially not in a world cup semi final pressure moment with ~2 seconds to make a decision)
>>156682741yea I don't disagree with that. not saying the pass was impossible but its nowhere near as obvious and easy as the people in this thread (and the commentators during the match) made it out to be - making that pass work would have taken a some real finesse or a stroke of luck, and why even bother when the alternative is a 1-on-1 with Pickford?
>>156653015When I was a striker myself, I had several options in my head in these situations.The first priority is to approach the goal and also to attract the defender. Once Haaland gets a free passing lane, you pass. If the defender cuts of the lane, you approach the goal directly. In the case of Haaland a blue pass might work though
>>156652141Shaartland would have pushed the defender and missed
maybe next time do not cut the beginning of that play where halland smashes into the defender and throws him on the ground, a foul that would make any goal there get vared anyway.also, blaming a guy here for not scoring where norway LITERALLY scored on 2:1 and the only reason it didn't count was halland fouling somebody for no reason other than him being a monkey is a wild take
>>156682741Whenever Haaland doesn't have the ball every single one of his teammates should be thinking "Where is Haaland I need to get the ball to him". It's not rocket science, it's a fact.
>>156682910this is actually the entire reason for the fuck-up in OP's webm though. Sorloth was so focussed on trying to find the angle through to Haaland, he slowed the ball down to level with him and took it towards him (blue line), only to find that the pass angle would never open, the rest of England's defence arrive and being forced to make the shot after the advantage has been squandered.He bottled a fantastic opportunity for a 1v1 with Pickford (red line) because of how badly the whole team have been drilled to "get it to Haaland", its such a shitty mentality
>>156653015purple if he had the pace and finishing, his fiirst touch would push it in that direction maintaining full speed. Instead he just takes it under control and goes fucking nowhere like a sun starved sperg. Should have played blue otherwise
>>156683019He didn't even look that way anon, he choked because he wanted to score.
>>156683019he literally just needs to put it inti the space in the penalty box, weve made this same pass hundreds of times in sunday leagues and these guys are professionals.its a generational fuckup, only this guy can answer if he placed himself before country
>>156683019HE WASNT LOOKING THAT WAY YOUFUCK
>>156683019>>156658299I can't tell if it's the bitrate or what but either he does not look in the direction of Haaland or he does then immediately begins staring at the ground and tries to channel the spirit of Messi. Either way it doesn't appear like a pass was ever even an option in his internal flowchart.
>>156683143I cant really tell if he looks up either, but if it was always in his head to go for goal, the way he went about it was the fuck-up in my book. I dont think the pass to Haaland was the right choice for this one
>>156680746I don't think it's honest. He is saving face. Honest would off been admitting that he choked. He is saving face because everyone expects a offensive player to take the chance by himself
>>156682070I appreciate him being a lightning rod for the seethe, personally
>>156683217going for goal is the right choice as it will still leave the haaland option open. Elite player will know defenders aren't catching haaland and he can drive into box forcing defender to go for the ball. But for some reason his intention is to slow everything down and bring every defender back into the game
>>156652392haaland is not a target man, he's more like brazilian ronaldo but without the dribbling
>>156653015>what should've been the play?Blue towards haaland, but after he keeps running straight at goallet me explain:The High IQ play is nullifying the defenders pace and "place" , because Stones is closer than Haaland to goal.The defender is at a distance and speed between the 2 norway players where he could :>intercept the passor>reach haaland before he has adquired proper body technique to shoot the ball and see where he is going to shoot.Sorloth needed to cheat the defender into aproaching him by faking a run at goal.This would make Haaland :>onside>free from pressuremeans:>have time to decide how and where to shoot as defender will not be able to reach him beforeThing is, Sorloth never does thiswhy? Its possible that he is:misreading the play....and that Stones actually did read it correctly as the latter feigns that he was going to commit to an approach....which just fits what Sorloth is actually thinking of doing: scoring his goal **by faking he is going to pass it to haaland.....>change pace and re-accelerate to leave Stones bitting the dust and then using Haaland as a decoy for pickford to doubt between the option of a pass-and-push goal or looking out for sorloth's shot.but as Stones never actually commited, now Sorloth change of pace doesnt fit "his" play and thus, it all ends in disaster.
>>156651219xd
>>156682574it's a hilariously easy passsee for an easy pass >>156682591that would have been almost certainly a goal
>>156651219Litteraly the moment everything shifted. A 2-0 before half time is lethal, and then Norway can sit back, therefore run less and hope to hold up on endurance. What happened happened and, as I said in other threads before, Norway doesnt have the endurance and were beyond gassed by the 80th min
I'm confusedIf he's leftfooted, why is he hovering around the right flank? Wouldn't it be easier for him to pass and shoot on the left side of the field?
>>156676477>Both of them, along with the goalkeeper, are the biggest culprits behind Norway's defeatAnd the baldy with 14 on shirt. I watched him ever since he fumbled on England's 2nd goal and he did nothing the entire match.
>>156684201It's easier to make a ball curl in if you play on the right and you're left footed. Imagine the situation, you being left footed, running on the right, you cut in
>>156684201>he doesnt know about le cut insidengmi
>>156653015Blue works if you shorten the distance. Basically you don't want Haaland to deviate his run by slowing pace or changing direction. Blue as it is forces him to run wider which would make the shot harder to pull off.
>>156651219Summer love is over
Neanderthal was so fucking invisible in that match he simply didn't know he was there
>>156653015Go for the goal, you need better feet for the pass and going for the goal forces the defender on you which makes the pass easier anyways
I was thinking maybe he didn't see him but they have another angle and he turns and looks right at him and then goes back to struggle dribbling
>>156652752Nah, it was his first real big game, he easily could have choked that shot.
>>156685536he doesn't look up again after he just tried to score
>>156676997penaldo cope. i mean i understand this critic of that norwegian guy, but bruno? kek
>>156685536>>156685622I still put the blame on the manager playing a big striker in the winger position
>>156652422Good positioning from the England player tbqh.
some of the lowest IQ shit I have ever seen in sports history, are the people saying there was no passing line available. You need to just move on, sports isn't for you kiddos. Horrifying cope.
>>156651219nobody in this thread can make this pass correctly, also blue get intercepted by the goalkeeper and red kills the momentum, retards.
>>156680753youre wrong chatgpt, keep learning.
>>156651219Norgebros, is your media destroying this guy? How are things in Norge? Here in Spain he'd be lynched.
>>156651219Honest question how do you even go back to your country and face your countrymen after a fuck up that's remembered by millions
>>156682070Watching players being selfish like this in the national team makes my blood boil, even if i don't support that team.
>>156668340Even 41 year old Penaldo would go for the run instead of freezing like that faggot.
Hahahahahahaha KWAB
>>156651219the brilliance of playing two strikers...
>>156686056only works when one is a grug and the other is a technical manlet, pairing two grugs together is just silly
>>156685871all these "sons of the '94"-team are protected from any criticism
>>156685747go take an IQ test and let someone else break the news to you, stupid fucking nigger. Get off the board, sports isnt for you. You dont see a passing line in this at all, you're a world class fucking retard >>156652422literally, end it all.
>>156653015Cut back onto your left foot and slip the pass into Haaland. The defender wouldn't be able to intercept it.
You are the stupidest niggers if you're buying "I didn't see Haaland." Just look at OP's webm. Of fucking course Sorloth saw Haaland before he received that ball.
>>156686333he did see him but I don't buy the whole ego thing, it's more likely he simply just choked
>>156683019He had a good passing lane
>>156676477>1.95 cement shoes wearing center forward>use him as wingerthis aint football manager pal, you get what you deserve.
