GIF: Myanmar U20 stopper tries some Sunday league goalkeeping, gets rightly punished

Use your hands lad

Perhaps someone should sit Myo Min Latt down and explain that one of the benefits of being a goalkeeper is that you can actually catch the ball.

But the Myanmar U20 stopper is a literal man and when he’s told to play football, he bloody plays FOOTball.

The 20-year-old made the bizarre decision to hoof away a very claimable cross during his side’s 5-1 defeat at the hands of the New Zealand side in this morning’s Group A game of the U20 World Cup.

Clayton Lewis took full advantage of the miscue and guided home the simplest of finishes to ensure that Latt won’t get a wink of sleep tonight.
