So nobody thought to tell the goalie that the game was over? He didn’t hear anyone leaving the field, or the crowd dispersing? This is weird, especially since snopes says it is true.
Fog dampens sound more than you may think, it’s very possible he heard absolutely nothing, and with it being so thick no one would be able to tell he was still there.
I wonder if the entire time he was thinking his team must be running a monster offense since he hadn’t had to defend in so long.
I like to think that there was a person holding the camera who knew all along and just wanted to see how long the guy would stand there
There was the same nonstop excitement there would be during an actual soccer match.
The crowd roaring in the stands excited about the fog mishap. Understandable how the goalie might misinterpret the sounds of a partying crowd.
Why do we need to include a relatable caption when the original one is funny already?
Because whoever took the screenshot included it.
That clarifies it. Thanks.
Sometimes jokes build off other jokes
90% of Tumblr screenshots for some reason
I’ve heard this story before, but never registered the date: December 25th, 1937. Having played in Boxing Day rugby matches, and considering holiday “sport” matches in general I’m going to make a couple reasonably informed guesses. 1) The goalie was drunk. Quite drunk. Everyone was drunk. 2) Everyone was still on the field … drinking, the goalie just didn’t realise they weren’t playing any more because he couldn’t see them.
Imagine playing an actual game in this tho
I can’t see that happening /j
But you could hear the confused shouts of the players
That does sound pretty entertaining ngl
It took him a while to realize this.
That news header and picture is actually more hilarious than the comment. 😂
I can’t help but wonder how many extra minutes the photographer was taking to take the best picture before telling the poor guy. 😂
Edit: Until I noticed the topic only after posting this. 😂
