The Slanch Report

Here’s two things you don’t see everyday in a soccer game. In the first video, after receiving a penalty kick Costin Lazar, a player on Rapid Bucharest refused the penalty, ultimately kicking the ball out of bounds and giving it back to the other team. Rapid was up 2-0 at the time, but even still a penalty kick, inside the box is a valuable thing and he willingly gave it up, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

Then in this second video from a friendly between Northern Ireland and Poland comes an awful goalie miscue. This is just embarrassingly bad.
