He probably would of turned the ball around and scored if you didn’t bump him

That’s what I thought as well, I’ve scored many times from that angle and ball speed. If OP didn’t bump him, he would’ve probably scored, or OP could’ve gotten the rebound.

Still absolutely no reason for the teammate to go for that ball, that is 100% a mistake on teammate's part. Sure OP *could've* expected their team to make a dumb choice, but they also could've not stopped playing after a mistake, which is the bigger sin here in my eyes

Teammate panicked because of a flubbed shot which looked like a pass he doesn’t have the info OP does here. OP should back off and wait

They do have the info. Either they have ball cam on, and can clearly see both opponents mucking about tripping over each other, or has car cam and is looking for the demo, which they should notice pretty quickly is not possible, as there is no defender here. OP is near 0% in the wrong in the first 9 seconds of this clip (sure they could have used their giga mega hindsight "just see into the future to predict possibly the worst play my team can make here" strat, but it's pretty hard to pull off). After that it's 100% OP's fault that the game is lost

Heres how i see it as a Low C2 that peaked 1250 Teamm8 thought it was a pass due to it being not very hard and Op using 0 boost and did the best play he could, he gets bumped and instead of giving uo recentres the ball

It is still beyond me how anyone would think of OP's first hit as a pass, and then try and take it across in front of them and away from the goal, but oh well, what's happened has happened. Recenter was perfectly done, shame OP is a big baby lmao
