Would've been hilarious if the goalie went hard and saved it.

Bro I read this as “stabbed” and I immediately thought he was watching the game as a foreigner in the ultras section or something.

All the comments were positive so I read it again and still read stabbed lol.

Third time was the charm

Really cool...but it had me thinking. If I was in his place, would I have wanted the goalie to give it his all? I think I would have. The personal satisfaction of scoring a legitimate goal that required a bit of skill and luck would have been that much greater. If he blocked it, then so what...he's a pro and that's what he's supposed to do.

If that were me, I’d without a doubt be wearing the Mia Hamm sports bra underneath my jersey

I agree with you if I was the shooter I would want the goolie to actually try and save it. But from the goalie's perspective he would have been crucified if he did save it by people that felt he should let the guy have the goal.

The guy didn’t even know he was going to be doing this in the first place. Would be messed up if the goalie did try to save it lol my man had 0 preparation for this. I’m just glad he didn’t shank it and miss the goal altogether.

And it's not like the man gave the kick his all either. Maybe we could have this conversation if he yelled a cheeky challenge to the keeper or whatever and tried for a screamer, but he was clearly just keeping himself together emotionally while he gave it enough to dribble in. A "test of skills" was not the page anyone was on.

This is just a reminder of how many little things big organizations can do to make a world of a difference to consumers or fans that literally cost them nothing

Good thing he wasn't playing for spurs...

Well done that lad.

That was beautiful. Wondering if it wouldn't have been nicer if the goalie made a pretend attempt to block the goal (still letting it in, but at least jump to the other side). Don't make it SO obvious you're just letting him score.

There's some Old World blood feuds playing gout when this happens in Minnesota. Mascots are going full speed and the kids are wearing brass knuckles, it's pure madness.

I was at a testimonial match in the 90's, I believe it was Sunderland vs Everton but I can't remember whose testimonial it was (I was only a kid at the time). A kid had been brought on from the stands to take a penalty and the keeper did save it. But the referee found an excuse for the penalty to be retaken and the kid scored.

And, so what? Is he going to be sainted for virtue signaling?

Keeper should have had that. Absolutely shocking.

He’s only just come on and scores right away, Dyche needs to bring him back

So, he has both a “heart of gold” and a “golden foot” then?

> Likewise, don’t pretend that working for someone you know to be a scumbag isn’t highly questionable in and of itself.

We know and agree that Jeff Bezos is a scumbag. So you think every single person working for Amazon is a scumbag too? Every single middle-class packager just trying to get by, working with shit wages and conditions, having to pee in bottles, is a scumbag?

Nice and wholesome. (not being sarcastic)

Hope people in Ukraine find peace soon too.

I love that he did the classic "knees on the grass, pump the fists" celebration move. I feel like that part is more exciting than getting the goal!
