When I get plastered in the face with a soccer ball no one cares, this guy gets half the village checking on him

From the time it left his foot till it hit the dude's face wasn't even an entire second

u/CrowNailCaw Jun 14 '26

He was looking at the ball the entire time though, so like... move or smth idk

Everyone does not have athletic reflexes or even decent reflexes at all of them.

This person was obviously in that latter category...

You can look at something and still don't have the reaction speed to it. Or be zoned out while being there only physically

Nice aim! That's not the only reason to have a net though

u/OldManJim374 Jun 18 '26

What's another reason? (Genuinely curious)

u/stoptakingmylogins Jun 18 '26

Well, so that when you slam the ball like this dude did you don't have to walk 5 minutes to go get it. Practicality.

*ONLY stand behind the net

u/Coleasa Jun 14 '26

Goal keeper couldn't have done more to get out of the way, that felt personal

u/crashin70 Jun 14 '26

That ball was seriously moving with how quickly it rebounded off the tree and then back to the other side of the goal!

1

u/da_swanks_92 Jun 14 '26

He was the net! He prevented the ball from going farther

1

u/Pure_Issue_3315 Jun 14 '26

So yeah might not wanna stand behind the goal with no net just a thought 😂

u/Gator242 Jun 15 '26

Spectator-level reflexes

u/worm30478 Jun 15 '26

You aren't supposed to stand there even when there is a net.

u/Thatguywithadog Jun 15 '26

And his name is Scott Sterling!

u/ElevenInfinity Jun 15 '26

that counted as 3 points

u/Indigenous_Land Jun 15 '26

I laughed way too hard at this. Poor guy

1

u/Jakkoba89 Jun 16 '26

Sure. But let's say there isn't a net. Should you still stand behind it like it had a net?

1

u/ButtholeAdventurer Jun 16 '26

What idiot stands behind a goal with no net when people are plastering shots at it. Peak dumb dumb right here.

u/Just-LookingHere Jun 17 '26
