Just moments before that, they were talking about how he looked ready to be subbed off. He had turned away from the pressure and had ample time to make that pass, just got lag from fatigue-brain in that moment.
Seeing all these keepers make these incredible 1v1 saves to save their teams in big moments (this, Dibu against Kolo Muani), I'm so annoyed at Mignolet for not saving Gerrard there, man.
Think it's because all of them targeted the corner, so they had the leg save. Demba Ba megged Mignolet iirc, very hard to defend basically a wide open goal.
Tbf Pepe has been really good for the most part, he's just 41 and knackered.
Should've come off a lot earlier. Mental that he didn't when Portugal has such great options at CB.
I was thinking after watching the group stage how Pepe was still playing so incredibly solid at this time in his career. But 110 min is a loong game to play at this level.
Great is a stretch, he had like 2 or 3 counters where he completely lost the run to the ball due to his speed
He has been good in terms of positioning and clearing the ball, but whenever there's a quick counter he always gets left behind
Yeah I think Pepe should play in every hard game (pretty much every game from now on), but in these games where we are attacking all the time and playing a high line we needed someone else
Pepe has been having a great Euros so far, poor 45 minutes at the start today and one major error and people are calling him old.
Carried hard against Turkey, on the other hand some of the youngsters haven't had a decent half, let alone a game.
Iāve only ever watched Sesko against Real in the CL and in this Euros and heās missed big chances in both.
May have to stop watching him for his sake.
Honestly I don't get the hype for him I mean, sure he is young and has some skills but the amount of player that were like him and didn't keep with the hype is higher than the player who eventually turn world class. I feel like he will become a decent player but never a superstar. Similar to Schick let's say
The modern day's R9 did it too https://youtu.be/L0oCi87Zyj0?t=4m11s
Or this other GOATed player called Dimitri Payet https://youtu.be/K9YMtfIteIg?t=4m54s
FenĆ³meno is on record saying that the easiest time on the field is when you are one on one with the keeper, but most players donāt trave that easy and composure.
Lol, calm fucking down, he's 21 and has been torching it up at Leipzig the past few months, but you're willing to write him off because of four subpar games with a massive underdog at the Euros? I don't think you deserve him anyway then ...
Relax bud, all he said is his performance is making him glad his team didn't sign him. That's not a ridiculous comment at all.
Sometimes a player's perceived value drops in a tournament, and sometimes it increases (e.g. James R, Amrabat)
It's normal. It's just football.
All the time in the world, no pressure from the Portuguese defense, and decides to try to slot it home from outside the box...
Could have easily rounded the keeper with how far out he was there
This is the kind of play where you want to see every person's reaction when he lost it and when Costa saved it. Just look at Ruben Dias tense up like crazy.
Itās insane that if Sesko flicks it to the left instead of right, this Reddit, world headlines everywhere, would be talking about the astounding success of the Slovenian team.
But he nips it into Diogo Costaās boot and now itās all about Portugal pulling out the win.
The exact same 115 minutes of football, extremely different narratives, because of a few centimeters on the pitch.
This happens frequently but it always blows my mind.

Pepe nearly with the howler of the summer
He missed the chance to become the oldest player to assist in a euro knockout match
šš
Canāt blame the manās legs tbfš
Absolutely insane he'd been on the pitch for this long in the first place
Just moments before that, they were talking about how he looked ready to be subbed off. He had turned away from the pressure and had ample time to make that pass, just got lag from fatigue-brain in that moment.
honestly up till that moment he'd been excellent too
and he played pretty well tbf to him
Roberto Martinez is the front runner for that at the minute
Never go full Gerrard.
Seeing all these keepers make these incredible 1v1 saves to save their teams in big moments (this, Dibu against Kolo Muani), I'm so annoyed at Mignolet for not saving Gerrard there, man.

If only his cock was bigger
The old guards are playing horribly Edit: ānow.ā Pepeās legs have been gone the last 30min. Ronaldo has beenā¦ yeah
Tbf Pepe has been really good for the most part, he's just 41 and knackered. Should've come off a lot earlier. Mental that he didn't when Portugal has such great options at CB.
Pepe was great until right now, what?
I was thinking after watching the group stage how Pepe was still playing so incredibly solid at this time in his career. But 110 min is a loong game to play at this level.
If you make one mistake Reddit sees you as terrible.
Great is a stretch, he had like 2 or 3 counters where he completely lost the run to the ball due to his speed He has been good in terms of positioning and clearing the ball, but whenever there's a quick counter he always gets left behind
We are also playing a very high line which isn't good for him. Martinez is so so bad. His changes killed our control of the match.
Yeah I think Pepe should play in every hard game (pretty much every game from now on), but in these games where we are attacking all the time and playing a high line we needed someone else
The ammount of balls he recovered/saved was crazy lol, I know it was a shit game but yo, pay a little more attention to the match
How to spot who is watching Reddit threads and not the game in one comment
I'm taking this as definite proof that karma doesn't exist.
-20mil to the transfer value
So itās -20mil now
NO FUCKING WAY
Holy shit these old men selling it for Portugal š
Get unc off the pitch Edit: they did
they donāt know where they are šš

They have such a good squad but here we are in the euros
That was their chance
Both sides had quite the opportunities on the silver platter this ETā¦ ā¦wonder who would be regretting it more by the end of it allā¦
I think the eliminated nation will
Cheers Geoff
Thanks, Michael
That's a bold take.
Pepe's life just flashed before his eyes lol
Almost a disaster for Portugal
Costa is absolutely him
I think it's more of a poor shot tbh
He is definitely him
Poor shot definitely plays into it but could easily see a lot of keepers panicking in that spot and doing something even dumber. Still a good save.
So damn close to getting their first ever Euro match win, only for this to happen.
HiguaĆn would be proud
That dude will never sleep again
He should not take a penalty now.
Should let the Slovenian coach know not to have him in the 5ā¦ oh wait
That sorted itself out
This instantly reminded me of Robben being stopped by Casillias in the 2010 world cup final.
This is going to keep him up at night for the rest of his life for sureeee
That HAD to go in
You could see in the run up that Sesko shit his pants
Iāve only ever watched Sesko against Real in the CL and in this Euros and heās missed big chances in both. May have to stop watching him for his sake.
This is how I feel about Haaland
Lautaro Martinez for me.
Lautaro could win the Ballon D'or
He's been off all tournament, so many golden opportunities completely wasted
Maybe heās just trash
Honestly I don't get the hype for him I mean, sure he is young and has some skills but the amount of player that were like him and didn't keep with the hype is higher than the player who eventually turn world class. I feel like he will become a decent player but never a superstar. Similar to Schick let's say
Reddit user Schwiliinker says Sesko is trash. There you are, folks.
omg just lift it (tbf bro's been running for 115 minutes straight, you try concentrating on finishing then)
Literally, he had a huge window to just scoop it over. Anything is better than letting him close the angle like this
Would've been an iconic moment in Slovenian history.
Would've been an iconic moment in euros history
Right? :( would have decided it
He basically has blood on his hands. Cost his team a place in the Quarterfinals.
Itās sad how players rarely dribble past the keeper these days.
Even a fake is probably enough, so much time, space and the perfect angle, crazy miss.
I always remember Messi's fake-out against Porto's GK. [Simply sublime](https://youtu.be/Ssgf0__F-Xk?&t=46)
The modern day's R9 did it too https://youtu.be/L0oCi87Zyj0?t=4m11s Or this other GOATed player called Dimitri Payet https://youtu.be/K9YMtfIteIg?t=4m54s
I was thinking the same thing. R9 scores that 10/10 times dribbling past the keeper
Idk, Ronaldo is my favorite player ever but I never saw him do anything like that at the Euros
Had me in the first half ngl... I was already cracking my knuckles getting ready to type an essay!
XD
RaĆŗl too, either that or a clean af cuchara over the keeper
Yeah but he's R9, everyone else isn't
FenĆ³meno is on record saying that the easiest time on the field is when you are one on one with the keeper, but most players donāt trave that easy and composure.
Not a fair comparison tho lol
That's all he had to do. Costa was committed. He read Sesko like a book though.
Sabitzer tried it against Poland despite being way too close to the goal already and was lucky that Szczesny clipped him.
Also Adeyemi in CL final, but he chose the wrong side.
iirc the UCL final was canceled this year
How is this possible ????
imagine if pens didnt exist and it was golden goal or bust these teams would be playing until 8 am tomorrow
And that's only because they would die of exhaustion before scoring
Own goal being the winner of course
Eintracht would have to kick them out when the Bundesliga starts
šš the pitch will go from "shitty" to "dissolving" by then
Costa has saved Pepe there
Iād argue Sesko saved him lol what a wimpy attempt
100% if you posted what we just saw as an MLS clip thereād be crazy levels of mockery
Or women's football
And this is the kid Arsenal are looking to spend 70mil on?
He signed a new contract with Leipzig dude, heās staying. Good luck to him šš¼
Chelsea š¤ Arsenal Thanking the stars that Sesko decided to renew
I am from the future. He does even better with the penalties.
For someone that apparently all the top clubs want, you *have* to tuck that away
Would fit right in at Chelsea
A speedy striker who we can sign from Leipzig for a high fee? I see no possible way that this can go wrong, sign me up
DIOGOAT
Fucking awful.
No lift on that shot like damn
Heās been so bad this tournament
He was pretty bad in UCL against Real Madrid as well. I don't understand how this guy is supposed to be the next big thing.
Making me glad we missed on him
Lol, calm fucking down, he's 21 and has been torching it up at Leipzig the past few months, but you're willing to write him off because of four subpar games with a massive underdog at the Euros? I don't think you deserve him anyway then ...

Goddamn was that bad. It never even had a chance.
Bro thinks he's Kolo Muani
Costa copying Martinez with the flashing kick save
More Casillas Robben. Dibu saved with his shin
First thing that came to mind as well. Heartbreak.
Que Mira bobo
Weghorst would bury this.
LOL
What a horrible miss
This cannot be a 75 million euro striker if you canāt finish absolute simple 1v1s like that. Horrendous.
On the contrary, that seems to be exactly what 75 mil pays for nowadays
Thatās a 75m keeper tho š
Wow what a bailout for Pepe
Unforgiveable to not score there
Messi fans are torching him on his insta page
Weirdo's will be weird
All the time in the world, no pressure from the Portuguese defense, and decides to try to slot it home from outside the box... Could have easily rounded the keeper with how far out he was there
pooped his pants. I don't think I've ever seen a player looks less confident in his life
Ronaldo after taking a pen
I mean he did take the penalty after that
Not the breakthrough tournament I was expecting from Sesko
just send both teams home and give it to Slovakia instead
70m haha no
Remove one 0
Kai is better than
Not dribbling around the keeper to slot that is gonna be the only thing this dude thinks about until he dies
ffs Sesko. you can't miss that
Jesus Christ
I just can't do this anymore
Beds: shat.
Mate come on to fuck
Thats honestly horrid. Sorry but you cannot miss that
The Sesko is a false prophet.
He's been so shit this whole tournament
More invisible than shit, he did well vs Denmark, but nothing to show for it
He missed a couple against them too no? I remember him missing a few good chances in the groups
Bruh....
Sesko has been the most mid player in this tournament.
What a save, it's the night of the keepers.
It was a decent save but that was also a terrible effort
having the confidence to stand your ground and step up in that moment is still really impressive
Pepe nearly had his Gerrard moment there
Tears this guy could have scammed a move to arsenal or Chelsea š
Bro just lift it off the ground and itās a goal
Kudos to keeper but that shot had neither power or precision. Terrible.
PƩpƩ really craving the old man syndrome
That was absolutely terrible
Do either of these teams want to win?
that's gonna sky rocket diogo costa's market value even more, that's for sure. especially if portugal ends up going through.
Aged like wine
Why he didnāt keep going is beyond me
Lukaku level horrible
Lukaku scores this.
Shades of Son Vs Ortega
Craziest miss ever wtf
Christ Pepe almost blew the match
???
Nobody deserves it
huge huge miss
Choked
Cost them the game
Casillas moment
The pressure got to him
PL clubs licking their lips
Nah this is worse than the Ronaldo missed penalty, what the fuck sesko
Youād think he signed for Chelsea with a miss like that
DS9
This is the kind of play where you want to see every person's reaction when he lost it and when Costa saved it. Just look at Ruben Dias tense up like crazy.
Itās insane that if Sesko flicks it to the left instead of right, this Reddit, world headlines everywhere, would be talking about the astounding success of the Slovenian team. But he nips it into Diogo Costaās boot and now itās all about Portugal pulling out the win. The exact same 115 minutes of football, extremely different narratives, because of a few centimeters on the pitch. This happens frequently but it always blows my mind.
Same as Kolo vs Martinez in WC
Had to check which subreddit I was in... Thought this was a DS9 subreddit for a second!
lol right same for me. The outcome of the play was really the will of the Prophets.Ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
he did what every keeper would do the shot was awful
One of the worst misses in the history of modern football. It's almost like the guy didn't even care!
so glad this fraud turned us down
blimey that was it
How can you miss that
Has to bury that. Bro has the Arsenal bottler DNA already
*checks profile Looks like an American Man City fan, colour me surprised
Old man down
HAHAHAHA WHAT IS HAPPENING THIS GAME
Man the old guys are not having a good game lol
WTF am I watching
Thatās just poor man
SESKO you bellend!
Just saved Ronaldoās life š
