It’s ok though I’m sure this won’t haunt him for the rest of his life.

I assume that’s a joke, because man it’s brutal. I grew up abroad. Played in some fairly competitive international set ups.

Hadn’t missed a penalty all year. Was the fifth shooter in the semifinal of a tournament at 15 years old.

I boofed the ball over the bar like Roberto baggio in the World Cup. The other team made their final shot and that was it.

I’m still thinking about that fricking shot. And that’s some 30 years ago.

If I had made that I’d probably be a Senator or at least a respected man!
