The story is surrealist and tarnishes the name of a sport as historic as indoor football. The World Cup is taking place in Kazakhstan and is over a picture which has been around the world.
France and Iran They were fighting for the top of their group, but neither team wanted to aim for victory. The reason? The group leader would side with Spain and Brazilcandidates to lift the title. Otherwise, the second ranked in this group would have an easier path to a hypothetical final.
Given this situation, both teams decided not to aim for victory, leaving an embarrassing spectacle on the track. Neither of them wanted to score and, even worse, they wanted to be scored on. In an attempt to fit in, the French goalkeeper he let the ball in in his own goal after a very soft shot of an Iranian player.
The picture is the most impressive and you can see how the goalkeeper apart of the trajectory of the ball to let it enter the goal.
Thailand coach Miguel Rodrigo of Spain reacted to the match on social media: “You have dishonoured my sport, you are a disgrace and deeply disgusting“. Iran, almost by chance, ended up winning the match 4-1. Now, France will face Thailand in the round of 16.
🇫🇷 France GK is trying REALLY hard to save this shot 😅😭#FutsalWCpic.twitter.com/kU2tCzbA77
