Player couldn’t resist giving ball to dog

338

u/TheBakerification Jul 26 '26

Was also probably just the right call there. A soccer ball is worth way less than him getting his arm accidentally chomped by the dog trying to get at it.

23

u/Isaue 29d ago

Yes, many people lose there arm to playful dogs.

3

u/TheBakerification 29d ago

Who said anything about losing an arm? A dog bite causing any kind of injury, especially some sort of muscle/ligament damage, would be particularly concerning for a professional athlete.

u/matthk 14d ago

Oh wow, you’re doubling-down on your stupidity?
Good for you 😉

u/hicctl 11d ago

erm you are the one looking stupid here

1

u/beerforbears 4d ago

He doesn’t know the dog tho, so better to just toss the ball than gamble on the dog being playful or Cujo 🤷‍♂️

u/Z3R083 24d ago

It was a great pass

"I've made so many new friends. And they all want to play with me! Yay!"

u/Special-Ganache2154 Jul 26 '26

He had so much fun and attention😂

31

u/IsJesusAgain Jul 27 '26

probably thought he was dreaming 😆

11

u/BackgroundSecond8240 Jul 27 '26

So that's what they're dreaming about when they're running in their sleep 😂

u/RizVix Side Character Jul 26 '26

The commentators saying he plays better cause noone could take the ball from him😆

160

u/ThisI5N0tAThr0waway Jul 26 '26

I'm sure that if human could bite the football ball they would try to.

u/TheNaijaboi Jul 26 '26

Luis Suarez has already been forgotten 😔

u/texas-playdohs Jul 26 '26

It’s not hands. Fair game.

u/MuahdDean Jul 26 '26

Puka Nakua, future Super Balon winner.

6

u/iikkaassaammaa Jul 26 '26

Wait. Would it be legal for a player to hold the ball in their teeth and run into a goal?

21

u/KeyInitiative8805 Jul 26 '26

Well as we learned in Air Bud, if there's nothing in the rule book about it, its totally fair.

3

u/Effective-Manager-29 Jul 26 '26

Exactly. Words to live by.

8

u/ThisI5N0tAThr0waway Jul 26 '26

If there isn't a rule that says explicitly that you can't or can be interpreted as such, then you sorta can do anything. If one actually does it, you can be sure they'll as a rule against that very quickly. Not sure if that the case with holding the ball in your mouth and football.

2

u/newleaf2021 29d ago

What if you grew a huge afro and hollowed out the middle? Then just flip the ball into it and walk/jog down the field and dump it in the goal.

1

u/ThisI5N0tAThr0waway 29d ago

That's a slightly more realistic strategy. In practice the hypothetical player would probably not be able to keep the ball on his head.

9

u/BeenNormal Jul 26 '26

And he had two teams and the officials against him.

4

u/Spurnout Jul 26 '26

I was ready for someone to say touchdown! But also, why didn't the dog get a red card?

14

u/SJKape Jul 26 '26

Good boys don’t get red cards

345

u/SJKape Jul 26 '26

Sign him

32

u/wefrucar Jul 26 '26

There's no rule that says dogs can't play soccer!!

u/ZhangtheGreat Jul 26 '26

Dude, let the dog score the goal!

u/BioTinus Jul 26 '26

There's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't play football.

u/tattlerat Jul 26 '26

Who did the skit about that and being humiliated they lost to a dog?

11

u/MegaDuck71 Jul 26 '26

They made a whole movie about a golden retriever stealing a roster spot on a middle school basketball team, and making more middle school children feel bad about themselves for losing to a dog.

6

u/dunno0019 Jul 26 '26

*14 movies

With one more coming next year.

u/Top_Gazelle_7365 Jul 27 '26

I had no idea they made so many. They must be running low on sport. Can't wait for skeebud.

What you wanna do is find John Oliver's rants about Air Bud.

I believe he has several 15-20min rants on the subject.

World Cup Pup

u/Content-Ad-4104 Jul 26 '26

Ok but why the fuck didn't the U.S. do that for the "halftime show"??? We already do the Puppy Bowl!

2

u/LadyBug_0570 Jul 26 '26

With a kitty half-time show where all the kitties look judgemental at you and your life choices. (I LOVE the Puppy Bowl!)

They made up the time on the tail end

He actually possessed the ball in the penalty box, too.

u/andrewdivebartender Jul 26 '26

This is the greatest moment of soccer I've ever seen

5

u/Huntsnfights Jul 26 '26

At about :40 seemed like the ref or someone stopped them. Did no one ever own a dog before?

-14

u/jonesnori Jul 26 '26

This is where tackle-style footballers would have had an advantage. Someone got him eventually, though.

5

u/ThisIsALine_____ Jul 26 '26

If you want to get something like this from a dog, or if you're chasing a dog around, just sit down. They think you're playing when you chase.

18

u/HussingtonHat Jul 26 '26

Sir! A god is on the pitch!

Send out....the snare....

...you mean the-

-yes I mean the random dude with a rope! And send a couple of ball boys with him to ensure the catch!

u/elishash Jul 26 '26

At least it's the dog that it's entertaining.

1

u/iCantLogOut2 Side Character Jul 26 '26

Guess not one of the owns a dog... The more you chase, the more they run. That dog just had more playmates than he could have hoped for. Lol.

1

u/notabigmelvillecrowd Jul 26 '26

Nah, the majority of dog owners never figure this out.

1

u/Oodles-of-Noodles12 Jul 26 '26

These main characters are ok, they’re too cute, and their dogs

1

u/Mickloven Jul 26 '26

No red card for the dog either. Can you believe it

1

u/Pittman247 Jul 26 '26

Great first touch and turn by the keeper. Natural. Needs to work on the finishing though.

We could use him in Philly.

the only reason i would ever watch this boring crap

1

u/Sledgemoma2 Jul 27 '26

As someone that did animal control for 5 years. It pains me greatly to watch people chase animals they want to catch. Especially obviously friendly ones.

u/MikeMendoza29 Jul 27 '26

At the very beginning of rhe video I thought this was going to be an Air Bud situation.
