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.
