@goldbergsnr It goes behind Haaland there (given his run) so he slows down and the chance isn’t the same. You can pretty much tell see Sorloth realise this in real time

Where and when are we expecting this 6 foot 5 striker playing on the wing to play the perfect pass?

SØRLOTH, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY UNFORGIVABLE. WTF? #NORENG

@abellwillring How and where and when can he slow down?! If he slows down straight away he’s not getting the ball. When he does get it, he slows down!
English
@SamLee Then ping the ball into space and give haaland a chance. He couldn’t get the ball off his foot
English
@CoachJMort Probably shouldn’t be out there’ - doesn’t mean anything. He is out there, he’s been their outlet on the left wing
English
@SamLee Size has nothing to do with ability to hit a ball into a wide open space. And if he doesn’t have the skill, he probably shouldn’t be out there. I think a majority of players in the World Cup can play that ball in.
English
@kevindedawg Probably because you’re blinded by loyalties and at this moment in time there’s a clash
English
@SamLee I mean hit it into space first time is certainly an option
English
@elvislives88 A square pass would force Haaland to check his run and then the defenders catch up. You can pretty much tell he wants to avoid that, but he can’t find another solution. He’s blatantly trying to find the pass. Look at it, he can’t play any pass forward because of the defender
English
@goldbergsnr He can’t play it in front of Haaland at any point, especially with his skill set
English
@goldbergsnr But when does he play it?! It would have to be, at best, when Haaland is level with him. Then Haaland has to check his run and the defenders get there
English
On your day, you give even worse takes than some FT accounts on here.

Fair play, Bellingham saying the exact same thing 😂 x.com/samlee/status/…

“¿Las críticas de Tuchel por el partido de hoy? CAPAZ NO SABE LO QUE ES JUGAR EN ESTAS CONDICIONES contra Haaland, Ødegaard, Nusa, Sørloth. Hay que tratar de crear un ambiente positivo”. Bellingham, contra su DT. 🤬🏴

You’d give that if you were fixing it, wouldn’t you?

LAST MAN FOUL ON BELLINGHAM ACHILLES, REF JUST IGNORED. I FEEL SORRY FOR ENGLAND ATP
English
@djenerate1265 Yeah absolutely but that’s another matter. Also he’s done alright for them and so have the subs when he comes off
English
@SamLee Probably why you shouldn’t play a less skilled Haaland on the isn’t it?
English
If he was being greedy wouldn’t he have just run straight at goal and had a shot? You can see him working out how and when to pass and he can’t do it

🚨📲 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Alexander Sørloth's latest IG post is getting flooded with hate comments about him not passing the ball to Haaland.
English
Hold on. If you’re saying it’s fixed, then VAR can give it and say it’s a foul. Ref might have even given it in real time and killed the move stone dead. If you wanted to fix it so the bigger teams go through, give soft fouls like that all the time. Ball doesn’t go near the goal and it’s never controversial 👍
English
VAR couldn't because it wasn't a foul. Lets not be bias.
Sam Lee@SamLee
And they could have overruled Norway’s first for a foul on Kane if they were looking for excuses
