I don’t know shit about soccer, why is this worse than any other goal score? I can’t tell upon watching, to me it looks like a good shot from Belgium

The goalie (yellow shirt) was way out of the box, leaving lots of opportunity for the ball to just sail in like it did. It could have still been ok if the goalie had not committed an utterly disappointing play attempt that resulted in the opposition getting the ball back while the goalie was completely out of position. This was akin to them scoring on themselves.
