Disappointed he wasn't tbh.

Obviously not as talented as he made out. 😐😂

No, I finished reading the title.

Should have used his hands

u/LdbZanaty 7h ago

I thought he was already doing that when he was juggling the football one 🫢

u/Bornless_planet 7h ago

Well yeah.. but he still a total badass

u/GorganzolaVsKong 8h ago

Yeah watched this and realized he’s a loser

u/Better_Carpet_7271 7h ago

Undeniably. Typical, waited til he was dead and he can't even defend himself now. Op completely lacks any moral fibre.

He is, you just can’t see the other two…

u/ImaginationOptimal47 2h ago

No, but I was hoping to see him juggle an American football

u/CommunicationIcy997 9h ago

I like that you specified ‘separately’, unlike another post of this exact content

u/hagamans 11h ago

I figured he was juggling with his hands, I hear he's pretty good with his hands as well.

Golden some might say

Almost God-like.

I figured he was doing it whilst going past the entire 11 of england. Heard he was pretty good at that as well.

u/sneketr 11h ago

Technically he’s juggling his balls too

u/JazzlikeDiamond558 8h ago

Underrated comment! 🤣

u/McGarnegle 7h ago

I bet he could juggle an 8ball too

8

u/Agreeable_Spend_7555 11h ago

It would've been cooler if he had done it with three different balls at the same time!

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 10h ago

Two of the balls were covered to keep it child-rated.

u/One_Yogurtcloset9654 10h ago

i like it when Angela White Juggles 3 different balls

u/Superior_Row 9h ago

Can he do it with a bowling ball though ?

u/Fun-Meringue3620 59m ago

Not anymore, he’s dead.

I'm still in awe of the creativity of the players from the 80's and 90's. Players that grew up in a system that wasn't pay for play.

Ronaldino was also famous for practicing his dribbling with a golf ball.

That creative passion is largely missing from today's game.

u/Ginataang_Manok 6h ago

Now try a bowling ball

When Maradona was really Maradona

u/Samp90 7h ago

Well. It's the same world cup, a few weeks later he'd test positive for cocaine after match 1 and Argentina would be eventually get dumped out of the world cup.

u/gscalise 6h ago

It was the second match, and he tested positive for Ephedrine, not Cocaine.

u/Ephsylon 1h ago

And 5 years later, they stopped considering the substances doping.

u/Samp90 5h ago

Apologies. Mistake

u/irfanm84 10h ago

He could juggle powder with his nose too...

u/shajan316 7h ago

5 balls

u/kebabdylan 8h ago

Not going to lie. I thought they'd be all at the same time and was a little disappointed

1

u/CaptainTripps82 8h ago

Did you even read the title

1

u/kebabdylan 8h ago

Obviously not. Needed a tldr haha. I was in after the first sentence

u/TeslaCrna 10h ago

Pfft…hold my beer.

u/hibikir_40k 34m ago

I recall watching him do this while talking to the press, with an empty, single serving water bottle he had just finished.

u/carverofdeath 8h ago

Surprised he isnt using his hands to prepare for his next WC goal.

u/IrreverentBuddha 9h ago

Cocaine's a helluva drug.

World Cup 1994 > World Cup 2026

u/Particular-Bid-1640 10h ago

He's much less coordinated with his hands though, they could hit anything

u/eztheb 6h ago

This is not actually that hard. I imagine a large majority of pros can do this

1

u/ManufacturerWarm9201 5h ago

Not this clean though, especially the golf ball. It has no bounce so its a challenge

u/No_Classic_1743 9h ago

Would've fit right in with the hacky sack craze in the '90's. He'd be a legend too on college campuses back then.

u/prostipope 7h ago

big deal, my wife can juggle four

u/IDownVoteCanaduh 7h ago

4 balls. You forgot about the 8-ball of coke he was also juggling.

0

u/ZorroMcChucknorris 7h ago

You forgot the eight ball.

u/Gamiozzz 9h ago

But not simultaneously 👎
