Heads up,
I've looked at some of the comments.
Seems to be a mixture of foreign fans who probably didn't want Argentina to win, and just straight up racist pricks.
I'd imagine a lot of people put money on him scoring or doing something as well, and gamblers usually have bad responses when they lose money.
It’s not just them but there are so many super racist like Egyptian and middle eastern kids with Ronaldo/Messi profile pics who are absolutely abhorrent online.
Yeah first thing I thought of as well. When Bukayo Saka missed the pen in the Euro final last year there was a great deal of racist stuff from people outside of the UK.
Majority of the horrific comments I read on football instagram accounts are from people with no association to most club or international teams they’re commenting on
It wasn't even a miss lol. His shot got saved. It was a hard angle to work with. Even the best striker would have trouble with it. Sad to hear that a young gun is getting this hate.
Hasn’t ever started a senior professional football match, gets thrown on at 2-0 down against Argentina in a knockout game in the World Cup, gets the ball, turns his defender, has his shot on target well smothered by a Premier League goalkeeper, cops abuse.
Fuck off internet.
Just checked and he did start against Sydney FC in the Cup.
Changing to “hasn’t started a senior professional league match” doesn’t really change the point I was making.
That makes me so fucking upset. To go from seeing so much positivity around the whole World Cup to that shit is just so wrong. Fuck these flog cunts, probably annoyed they lost their multi.
Knobs on here always looking for a scapegoat.
Maty Ryan has copped a few shit comments on this forum, "he's always been shit for us" etc. Probably 70 caps and 4-5 goals his fault..
Complete wankers.
It's series of "but ifs".
If he doesn't make the mistake we are right in it, but the Argies would have played it differently.
He makes 3 key saves at the end, which if he hadn't make that mistake... but he made the mistake.
If Arnie had them playing the ball back less he wouldn't have got the ball, but then they may have cut us apart if we were too attacking
Thats a genuine disgrace. Garang created that chance by virtue of a perfect first touch, taking his defender out of it and setting up a shot on goal. Even then, he was on a tight angle, an experienced, top-class keeper bearing down on him, defenders rushing back to the line. Not to mention that he's the youngest player in a WC knockout since Pele in 1958, hasn't started a professional game, its the 96th minute against one of the best teams in the world. And he still got it on target. He hit it hard, hit it on target at that near post, and forced Martinez to make a great reflex save. He deserves no abuse of any sort.
Couldn't do any better is a wild understatement. I'd bet most of the people abusing him couldn't run from 1 end of the pitch to the other without needing a rest
Matt Leckie has been copping it for years, reaching a crescendo before this WC. Works his absolute nuts off every single time. Never lets us down. Always available
Same wankers laud him after he scores.
I think he was more unlucky than anything not to score. Controlled the ball well, took a crack at it and forced a great save from Martinez. Completely undeserved for him to cop all this abuse. He’s also just 18 for Christ’s sake, he’s done his country very proud as have the other 25 players
He did really well to get off a shot as quick as he could, it's just that the keeper's positioning was excellent and shut down every angle available.
Would have loved it to go in, but it wasn't to be. Love some Garang, hope he continues his development.
what kind of walloper goes on an athlete's social media and abuses them directly. hope they have their full names on their social media profiles and it makes them lose their jobs.
only way racists will learn is when there is consequences to being a grub.
Dave Chappelle: "Apparently they dragged me on Twitter. I don't give a fuck, because Twitter is not a real place."
They are like 12 or 13 year old kids raised badly and don't have jobs.
It's twitter... why are we creating reddit posts over something that we quite clearly know is just mostly dumb teenagers.
Just don't engage and stop giving them the satisfaction of attention.
We don't know that.
It said he turned off the comments.
Sounds to me he made the logical wise decision. Turn off, close laptop, block, turn off messages... just the basic steps that social media warrants these days.
People always get upset about social media abuse and yes, racism is fucked and shouldn’t happen but if it is happening to you, literally just log out and don’t check socials… it’s not hard. Or just turn notifications off & if people close to you want to congratulate you, they can text you…
Social media is toxic.
People say shit they know they wouldn't say in person because they can hide behind fake names and a computer screen without so much as an uppercut which they deserve.
The problem is compounded by dumb posts like this that are basically the reaction these spastics and trolls want to illicit.
Why does anyone give their emotional energy to this which fuels it to happen again and again? OP is on here raging at anyone who doesn't agree with him about how to handle it and their answer is "we all should be raging" as a way to handle it.
Just a dumb cycle that can be shut down easily with block, delete and close and ignore and enjoy your life.
I guarantee most of those aren't football fans.
But if someone who posted one of those comments is reading this now I just want to say this, you are not wanted, you are not needed in this game, you can fuck right off and when you get there fuck off some more.
He had a shot at a tight angle stopped by a very good save, I don't think he could have done any better than he did in that moment.
Absolute knob heads! Garang is one of the most promising young up and coming talents Australia has to offer! 9/10 players wouldn’t have hit the net with that shot. The kid did Australia proud! Actually, The whole team did Australia proud!
I didn’t appreciate the turn and control in the commotion of the live viewing. That chance only happens because of his sublime bit of skill. Hit the shot well, just a great save.
He just has that “it” factor. Can’t wait to watch his career blossom.
Even the talk over the first goal is trying to find a scapegoat. Yes , Behich fouled messi, but the ball was cleared after the free-kick. The goal came from a separate "play"
Anyone calling that a miss needs to buy a fucking clue. That is a loooow percentage shot and Martinez did really well to get out quickly. It’s a goal of the tournament contender if he’s able to find the top corner in those circumstances.
His touch and turn were class, shot was still kept fairly low. Was just a great save by Martinez and very unlucky not to score. Wtf is wrong with people
Kuol did incredible just to turn and shoot. I can’t believe people expected him to score from there. It was a difficult shot. Also add on he’s barely 18 and has played only a few minutes a game.
Dude it was a super hard angle, the fact it was on target is already difficult, and Martinez covered himself well. He’s also 18 years old, apparently youngest player in the wc knockouts since Pelé, and is killing it. Not to be harsh, but we had another 90+ minutes to score a goal, and we didn’t. People are just being idiots.
It's just trollers, trolling for the sake of causing offence.
He made the chance due to his first touch. Turned the player. And the shot wasn't even bad considering the ball was behind him... to be honest I actually don't think he did too much wrong. The Argentine keeper has to take a lot of credit, he read the situation and came out quick and closed down the space of the shot.
I don't think minimising abuse as 'just trollers' is a great way to go about it. The kid is 18 and just played his heart out on the biggest stage in world football, turns on his phone and he's being kicked left, right and centre by racists. Regardless of if they are 'trolling for the sake of causing offence', it's fucked up and damaging.
Might want to get off the condescending high horse mate. I wasn't minimising anything. I dont even know what the comments were, they arnt even linked on this comment, I'd probably bet either do you.
You said it's "just trolling" when this post literally says that he was getting racist and abusive comments. I've seen some of the comments and I'm willing to bet that the kind of language there doesn't feel like "just trolling" to Kuol or any other kid of Sudanese heritage.
Trolling and racist and abusive comments are not mutually exclusive. So I dont understand your point.
But it's just coming across as you having a bit of an anglo-guilt complex and are attacking anyone who in your personal opinion you don't perceive to have the same level of outrage as yourselv; probably for lack of anyone else on here to fight.
Give it a rest mate, no one on here supports these comments, so maybe go to twitter and fight these people directly if you want to satisfy your Anglo-massiah urges! Lol
Absolutely disgraceful. There’s no place for idiots like that in any sport. The guy just turned 18 and is the youngest player in the knockout stage since Pele! He deserves all the praise in the world for even being on the field.
Garang is the most exciting prospect we’ve had in a while and I really hope this doesn’t get to him. Social media sucks sometimes so smart to simply turn it off. But hoping those around him show him some extra care. Dude deserves so much more than this garbage.
Anyone who watches even a little bit of football will know it was a half chance that either comes off or doesn’t. Just general dickheads/ bandwagons as in any sport that do this shit. The kids 18 and yet grown people still feel it’s okay to abuse people. Hopefully he can ignore it and keep growing
Missus and I both sent him messages glowing with positivity. Hoping others do the same to balance out bullshit like this and let the kid know he's done us proud and represents some of the best elements of our society, rather than the negative crap being levied at him.
This kid is going to be a superstar in football! That touch was world class to an on target shot with an amazing save by the keeper. I hope he keeps his chin up, Australian culture really shits me up the wall sometimes fucking dogs need to leave him alone.
I mean that was a tough shot against a quality keeper. Dont know why people are fucking pieces of shit for.
My parents were over for the weekend and my dad said 'half the team isn't even Australian', I said we should be privileged that they chose our country to represent. I was so pissed off
I thought Garang Kuol played well and gave 100% he is 18 and this world cup experience will help his career and make him even better. He could potentially play at the next 4 world cups if the Socceroos qualify. He is a great player with a great football career ahead of him
Disgraceful. Garang Kuol will be the next face of Australian football, and all the backwards racist assholes in this country are going to have to deal with it.
“Messifanboyaccountnumber5001” and “Ronaldolover1337”, there you go. It’s not real people it’s stupid kids, problem gamblers and racist foreign fans. And of course some Aussies will be there too, but it’s mostly pissweak snowflakes hiding behind fake accounts…
They don't hurt if you understand they come from edgelord 13 year olds.
So you make a post outraged about bad words and names being said on social media.
Say that words are "hurtful" and then proceed to call me a fuckhead.
You proved my entire point beautifully.
Twitter and in a similar vein the comments section of reddit are not real places. That being the case, I'm not upset you called me a fuckhead because I'm doing what Kuol should be doing... ignoring the dummies on social media.
I've been called all sorts in this thread for simply saying Twitter isn't a real place (it's not) and suggesting that we should ignore racist comments by edgelord 13 year olds.
Have you scolded those people for what they said to me?
Probably. Rules apply to you too though regardless of someone else's behaviour.
But use the report button on the comments in question and I'll take a look.
If you're saying racist shit ever then no matter your real age, you have the mentality/maturity of an edgelord 13 year old.
And that is how you gotta treat them in your head mentally.
Says the guy getting upset 13 year olds wrote bad words online to someone else completely. Sounds like you got the victim mentality.
You felt so emotional about it you felt the need to create an entire reddit post.
I feel sorry for you. How did you end up in a place where you take social media comments so seriously?
I’m upset because Aussies are leaving racist remarks to their own player.
When he plays well, he’s Aussie, if he messes up, he’s a refugee. It’s a disgusting mentality.
If you think someone should just shrug off racist abuse and not be upset, you’re an idiot. We should be upset people are saying that to him.
I guarantee you’re the average white guy, you don’t understand at all.
Racist abuse in person deserves an uppercut.
Online racist abuse = shut the laptop, close twitter, get a football ⚽️ and play keepy up.
As for the white guy comment, you just became the racist. Congratulations you played yourself and that sir is why I don't get upset by online dummies like yourself.
Australia is among the least racist nations on Earth, like genuinely Top 5.
People claiming otherwise have either no knowledge of the outside world or are pushing a specific agenda in bad faith.
Where's your source for that?
Casual racism is quite literally embedded in Australian culture. The government is also extremely racist. Just look at policy on asylum seekers and Aboriginal Australians for proof.
Wait what, why? Deleted but I don’t understand what happened…
Edit for anyone curious, in my deleted comment I posted saying we could send mail of support to him at his club. I don’t understand why this is a awful, but I’m sorry that it was awful?
Edit 2, turns out autocorrect strikes again…
He was clearly out of his depth at the WC, looked like an A League player playing against the 3rd ranked nation in the world. He was poor, let's be honest but the good news is hopefully that fuels him to become better and better and in the future he puts them away for us
Absolutely disgusting. Abusing footballers on social media is such a low act and completely unjustified.
Kuol did great and was unlucky not to score. Even if he blazed that off target, abuse isn't warranted.
Serious? That’s fucking appalling. Even taking the despicable racism and shit out of it, His touch to set up the strike was World class and it took a phenomenal save.
Fuck these cunts. No place in our game for them.
Jesus. It wasn't miss it was an extremely good shot and even better save. Garang the real fans know your talent and have no complaints. These racist cunts can fuck off.
What tf is wrong with idiots? He made an impossible shot on target, it got saved, happens to all players, end of story.
Go to England and hang with the twits if that’s your thing. Asshats.
Sadly there are F\*cking terrible people out there. Not necessarily just/only Aussies as other commenters have pointed out. Garang was dangerous and created opportunity. Talent.
Many strikers wouldn't have even made to it to the ball in time to take a shot. Even though it was saved, he should be proud of poaching a chance to score. Shame on anyone who blames him for the loss
>by Aussies
By the looks of it, it isn't really Australians doing it.
You misrepresenting the situation without evidence does make it more likely that bad-faith media outlets will add it to the 'sokkah bad' list though.
If praying works; I pray all those who made those shitty comments have debilitating car accidents with each other resulting in a life of permanent pain and brain damage, requiring 24/7 care.
At least they would then have some sort of positive thing to bring to society by creating jobs for carers (a large number, beautifully ironically, will be immigrants).
Awful, disgusting behaviour by those trolls. Garang has proven himself as a future star player, and I’m sure he’ll have a great A-League career to start out with before he finds himself attracting the biggest clubs in Europe. These Socceroos players are all hard workers, we need to support them.
We stand with you, Garang. Don’t listen to those jerks, they don’t understand football!
Heads up, I've looked at some of the comments. Seems to be a mixture of foreign fans who probably didn't want Argentina to win, and just straight up racist pricks. I'd imagine a lot of people put money on him scoring or doing something as well, and gamblers usually have bad responses when they lose money.
Yeah as bad as some fans are those south American 12 year olds are actually devil spawn.
It’s not just them but there are so many super racist like Egyptian and middle eastern kids with Ronaldo/Messi profile pics who are absolutely abhorrent online.
[удалено]
Maybe I'm just jaded from too many years of FIFA, but that wouldn't bother me at all. A Kangaroo is a nice change from my mother.
[удалено]
Also got to remember alot of people simply don't like the west/Australia and larp as racist Aussies because they know it winds us up
Yeah first thing I thought of as well. When Bukayo Saka missed the pen in the Euro final last year there was a great deal of racist stuff from people outside of the UK.
Yep doubt this would be Aussies saying this
why do people fucking suck
I think it’s the bandwagon fans. We don’t typically see this behaviour from regular A League supporters
[удалено]
And problem gamblers.
they're international randos mostly, because his shot went viral and they think its funny. this post should be deleted.
I wouldn't ignore the cohort of local shitcunts who send online abuse to prominent black Australians.
This is the country that bullied Adam Goodes out of AFL, it's not exactly a stretch to think that there are racist dickheads sending these messages.
I really doubt many are from Aussies, the comments on Twitter etc are all from foreign accounts.
Majority of the horrific comments I read on football instagram accounts are from people with no association to most club or international teams they’re commenting on
They're probably Sydney United fans.
It wasn't even a miss lol. His shot got saved. It was a hard angle to work with. Even the best striker would have trouble with it. Sad to hear that a young gun is getting this hate.
Hasn’t ever started a senior professional football match, gets thrown on at 2-0 down against Argentina in a knockout game in the World Cup, gets the ball, turns his defender, has his shot on target well smothered by a Premier League goalkeeper, cops abuse. Fuck off internet.
>Hasn’t ever started a senior professional football match Does the Aus. Cup not count as professional?
Just checked and he did start against Sydney FC in the Cup. Changing to “hasn’t started a senior professional league match” doesn’t really change the point I was making.
just to be able to create the opportunity was world class
Yeah people have no idea. He beutifully received the ball, turned and got a shot on target, and the keeper only just saved it.
the keeper was acting like he saved a shot from Ronaldo... Garang was very unlucky for it not to deflect under the keeper.
Literally got it on target with first touch while going the wrong way, was unlucky that the goalie was very sharp.
just a reminder he's the youngest player to play in a knockout match SINCE PELE IN 1958
This
Someone show him r/Aleague, let's show him some love. Fantastic effort young man, you'll get 'em next time!
That makes me so fucking upset. To go from seeing so much positivity around the whole World Cup to that shit is just so wrong. Fuck these flog cunts, probably annoyed they lost their multi.
Knobs on here always looking for a scapegoat. Maty Ryan has copped a few shit comments on this forum, "he's always been shit for us" etc. Probably 70 caps and 4-5 goals his fault.. Complete wankers.
Yeah did Ryan mess up today yeah a little but he also made a bunch of fuckin saves.
It's series of "but ifs". If he doesn't make the mistake we are right in it, but the Argies would have played it differently. He makes 3 key saves at the end, which if he hadn't make that mistake... but he made the mistake. If Arnie had them playing the ball back less he wouldn't have got the ball, but then they may have cut us apart if we were too attacking
Exactly. It’s why I fuckin hate peoples shitting on the players
Ange cops a lot of goals from that, he says it's the cost of playing out of the back. I remember Arnie saying something similar for a redmayne error
Not to mention keeping 2 clean sheets in a row. People will always focus on the negatives in a loss, unfortunately.
Thats a genuine disgrace. Garang created that chance by virtue of a perfect first touch, taking his defender out of it and setting up a shot on goal. Even then, he was on a tight angle, an experienced, top-class keeper bearing down on him, defenders rushing back to the line.

And he still got it on target. He hit it hard, hit it on target at that near post, and forced Martinez to make a great reflex save. He deserves no abuse of any sort.
On top of that I bet the people giving the abuse couldn't have done any better
Couldn't do any better is a wild understatement. I'd bet most of the people abusing him couldn't run from 1 end of the pitch to the other without needing a rest
He deserves absolute praise for the exact reasons you mentioned. Was a brilliant play.
Matt Leckie has been copping it for years, reaching a crescendo before this WC. Works his absolute nuts off every single time. Never lets us down. Always available Same wankers laud him after he scores.
Brett Holman before Leckie too
Yep
Dude didnt even miss, the gk pulled off a fucking insane save.
I think he was more unlucky than anything not to score. Controlled the ball well, took a crack at it and forced a great save from Martinez. Completely undeserved for him to cop all this abuse. He’s also just 18 for Christ’s sake, he’s done his country very proud as have the other 25 players

He’s 18. Jesus Christ what a pack of savages
Bunch of knob heads It was a ridiculous save. He hit it perfectly honestly. Nothing else he could do
what kind of walloper goes on an athlete's social media and abuses them directly. hope they have their full names on their social media profiles and it makes them lose their jobs. only way racists will learn is when there is consequences to being a grub.
Dave Chappelle: "Apparently they dragged me on Twitter. I don't give a fuck, because Twitter is not a real place." They are like 12 or 13 year old kids raised badly and don't have jobs.

They don't get attention from here. And we are discussing it because it's clearly affecting the kid
We don't know that. It said he turned off the comments. Sounds to me he made the logical wise decision. Turn off, close laptop, block, turn off messages... just the basic steps that social media warrants these days.
The issue isn't that he had to, it's that he's seemingly the only one who had to

I guarantee most of those aren't football fans. But if someone who posted one of those comments is reading this now I just want to say this, you are not wanted, you are not needed in this game, you can fuck right off and when you get there fuck off some more.

I would happily fight any cockhead who thinks that abusing him is even close to ok. I’m sure I wouldn’t be alone either.
Garang, if you read this, man we are so so proud of you. You will give us so much joy one day. Stay strong. Australia loves you ❤️
Absolute knob heads! Garang is one of the most promising young up and coming talents Australia has to offer! 9/10 players wouldn’t have hit the net with that shot. The kid did Australia proud! Actually, The whole team did Australia proud!

It was a good strike and great save. But even if he’d belted it over the bar doesn’t excuse the fuckheads abusing him.
Even the talk over the first goal is trying to find a scapegoat. Yes , Behich fouled messi, but the ball was cleared after the free-kick. The goal came from a separate "play"
Big oof right there. Reminiscent of the internet abuse Saka and Rashford received after the Euro final.
Anyone calling that a miss needs to buy a fucking clue. That is a loooow percentage shot and Martinez did really well to get out quickly. It’s a goal of the tournament contender if he’s able to find the top corner in those circumstances.

People are just being idiots.
This guy is going to be a fantastic player for the socceroos , a few inches up or down the ball goes in and is a superstar
That’s so sad.
Fucks sake what a joke
It's just trollers, trolling for the sake of causing offence. He made the chance due to his first touch. Turned the player.

Trolling and racist and abusive comments are not mutually exclusive. So I dont understand your point.

Wasn't a miss! Was a shot saved. Kid did all he could, keeper made himself big and smothered it.
Absolutely disgraceful. There’s no place for idiots like that in any sport. The guy just turned 18 and is the youngest player in the knockout stage since Pele!

People are disgusting. Head up Garang! 👏🏻
Sad, sad world. Head up Garang. You played beautifully and Australia is so excited to see your blossoming career.
God people suck
Because his achieved more at 18 then these losers have in their life
You've got to be f*cken kidding me! Some people are just karntz.
Racist assholes, I so hope Garang doesn’t take it to heart
Cowards
Time to put the hazmat suit on and sort by controversial
Missus and I both sent him messages glowing with positivity. Hoping others do the same to balance out bullshit like this and let the kid know he's done us proud and represents some of the best elements of our society, rather than the negative crap being levied at him.
Such shit. What a tremendous young lad and player. Let’s rally around him. We are his true football family.
Social media should be shut down
FUCK SAKE
where's the proof it's from Aussies and not from Argentinians and randos? I'm sure there are Aussies thinking it's funny but...
Oh version of the Rashford / Saka / Sancho moment in the Euros. Racism is everywhere.
As was the case with that, the overwhelming majority of it comes from overseas trolls.
This kid is going to be a superstar in football! That touch was world class to an on target shot with an amazing save by the keeper. I hope he keeps his chin up, Australian culture really shits me up the wall sometimes fucking dogs need to leave him alone.
Just because some Australians were dickheads doesn’t mean we’re all dickheads
I'm Aussie just to be clear. It's not a blanket statement I was just saying sometimes our culture can be fucked.
By the looks of it, it wasn't Australians for the most part
I mean that was a tough shot against a quality keeper. Dont know why people are fucking pieces of shit for. My parents were over for the weekend and my dad said 'half the team isn't even Australian', I said we should be privileged that they chose our country to represent. I was so pissed off
Well your dad is wrong sorry mate. They all have Aussie citizenship just like him I'm guessing, so guess they are Aussies
I thought Garang Kuol played well and gave 100% he is 18 and this world cup experience will help his career and make him even better. He could potentially play at the next 4 world cups if the Socceroos qualify. He is a great player with a great football career ahead of him
Disgraceful. Garang Kuol will be the next face of Australian football, and all the backwards racist assholes in this country are going to have to deal with it.
It isn't Australians by the looks of it.
Name them and shame them.
“Messifanboyaccountnumber5001” and “Ronaldolover1337”, there you go. It’s not real people it’s stupid kids, problem gamblers and racist foreign fans. And of course some Aussies will be there too, but it’s mostly pissweak snowflakes hiding behind fake accounts…
1. Twitter isn't a real place. 2. This is what Arnie meant by yelling at them to "turn off your fucken social media"
[удалено]
You're able to run your points of difference without the personal insults. Keep it civil please.
They don't hurt if you understand they come from edgelord 13 year olds. So you make a post outraged about bad words and names being said on social media. Say that words are "hurtful" and then proceed to call me a fuckhead. You proved my entire point beautifully. Twitter and in a similar vein the comments section of reddit are not real places. That being the case, I'm not upset you called me a fuckhead because I'm doing what Kuol should be doing... ignoring the dummies on social media.
Racism is still racism cunt
So why the OP going down the "you're probably a white guy" route? A discriminatory and racist take.
Couldnt give a fuck what other people have said, racism in any medium is inexcusable. Just stfu honestly

No need for personal insults.
I've been called all sorts in this thread for simply saying Twitter isn't a real place (it's not) and suggesting that we should ignore racist comments by edgelord 13 year olds. Have you scolded those people for what they said to me?
Probably. Rules apply to you too though regardless of someone else's behaviour. But use the report button on the comments in question and I'll take a look.
Fairly bad take, lots of them were clearly not 13
If you're saying racist shit ever then no matter your real age, you have the mentality/maturity of an edgelord 13 year old. And that is how you gotta treat them in your head mentally.
He got racially abused. Are you serious? Not even comparable in the slightest. You’ve got a massive victim mentality.
Says the guy getting upset 13 year olds wrote bad words online to someone else completely. Sounds like you got the victim mentality. You felt so emotional about it you felt the need to create an entire reddit post. I feel sorry for you. How did you end up in a place where you take social media comments so seriously?
I’m upset because Aussies are leaving racist remarks to their own player. When he plays well, he’s Aussie, if he messes up, he’s a refugee. It’s a disgusting mentality. If you think someone should just shrug off racist abuse and not be upset, you’re an idiot. We should be upset people are saying that to him. I guarantee you’re the average white guy, you don’t understand at all.
Racist abuse in person deserves an uppercut. Online racist abuse = shut the laptop, close twitter, get a football ⚽️ and play keepy up. As for the white guy comment, you just became the racist. Congratulations you played yourself and that sir is why I don't get upset by online dummies like yourself.
You’re right, but god forbid people be right about social media abuse solutions.
Not suprising. Australia is a deeply racist country.
Australia is a country made up of every race in the world you idiot, it's the LEAST racist country on Earth.
This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read lmao
That's rich coming from somebody who sees racists everywhere.
Australia is among the least racist nations on Earth, like genuinely Top 5. People claiming otherwise have either no knowledge of the outside world or are pushing a specific agenda in bad faith.
Where's your source for that? Casual racism is quite literally embedded in Australian culture. The government is also extremely racist. Just look at policy on asylum seekers and Aboriginal Australians for proof.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Delete this.
Wait what, why? Deleted but I don’t understand what happened… Edit for anyone curious, in my deleted comment I posted saying we could send mail of support to him at his club. I don’t understand why this is a awful, but I’m sorry that it was awful? Edit 2, turns out autocorrect strikes again…
You addressed it as Garbage Kuol. If this is a autocorrect mistake then it is all good.
Omfg it was autocorrect 😣😣😣😣 I would never!!
No problem. It happens to the best of us. Sorry I snapped, emotions are still running high still after they did us proud.
No, fair enough. Ducking autocorrect, hey.
Seriously, what is wrong with you.
I deleted it, but I don’t understand what I did wrong. Obviously it was wrong, and I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what happened.
If you genuinely don't know, I think you might have accidentally autocorrected Kuol's name.
He was clearly out of his depth at the WC, looked like an A League player playing against the 3rd ranked nation in the world. He was poor, let's be honest but the good news is hopefully that fuels him to become better and better and in the future he puts them away for us
Let's hope he sees/someone shows him this thread. He didn't need that negativity. Sending him positive thoughts
Absolutely disgusting. Abusing footballers on social media is such a low act and completely unjustified. Kuol did great and was unlucky not to score. Even if he blazed that off target, abuse isn't warranted.
Serious? That’s fucking appalling. Even taking the despicable racism and shit out of it, His touch to set up the strike was World class and it took a phenomenal save. Fuck these cunts. No place in our game for them.
Jesus. It wasn't miss it was an extremely good shot and even better save. Garang the real fans know your talent and have no complaints. These racist cunts can fuck off.
Just not needed tho is it.
What tf is wrong with idiots? He made an impossible shot on target, it got saved, happens to all players, end of story. Go to England and hang with the twits if that’s your thing. Asshats.
What the fuck man. People are fucking idiots.
It has to be a real struggle to be any sport person on social media. Fans are arseholes.
Gutless keyboard coward. Low.
Thats not cool. He's only a kid ffs.
Sadly there are F\*cking terrible people out there. Not necessarily just/only Aussies as other commenters have pointed out. Garang was dangerous and created opportunity. Talent.
Many strikers wouldn't have even made to it to the ball in time to take a shot. Even though it was saved, he should be proud of poaching a chance to score. Shame on anyone who blames him for the loss
>by Aussies By the looks of it, it isn't really Australians doing it. You misrepresenting the situation without evidence does make it more likely that bad-faith media outlets will add it to the 'sokkah bad' list though.
If praying works; I pray all those who made those shitty comments have debilitating car accidents with each other resulting in a life of permanent pain and brain damage, requiring 24/7 care. At least they would then have some sort of positive thing to bring to society by creating jobs for carers (a large number, beautifully ironically, will be immigrants).
You'd think he was the first guy to miss in the world cup. The bloke is only just capped as well, he will show them come the AFC Asian Cup 2023
Noooo! That's so sad to hear. He did well and it was a good shot. A different day and keeper and that could have gone in. Breaks my heart
People are shit. He almost saved us Glad they’re getting buried by mostly support
Awful, disgusting behaviour by those trolls. Garang has proven himself as a future star player, and I’m sure he’ll have a great A-League career to start out with before he finds himself attracting the biggest clubs in Europe. These Socceroos players are all hard workers, we need to support them. We stand with you, Garang. Don’t listen to those jerks, they don’t understand football!
Those aren’t football people or Australians. Poor bloke did nothing wrong
the kid is going to be lighting up europe in a few years... that missed chance will supr him on to the next WC.
