Behold, The Goofiest Football Blunder Ever

When was the last time you fucked up really badly?

Like, really badly, the sort of fuckup where recognition instantly creases your face and you come to terms with the fact that you are about to be in a world of hurt?

When was the last time you felt like Ottowa Fury FC goalkeeper Callum Irving, in other words?

That took place on Wednesday evening in the second leg of an opening round match against FC Edmonton in the Canadian Championship. Now, before we go any further, I feel duty-bound to inform you that this story has a happy ending: The match ended in a 2-2 draw and Fury FC advanced on aggregate.

Nevertheless, this is a banshee-level howler. The best part isn't that Irving, who made a quality save just before this, forgot that Eddies—yes, that is FC Edmonton's nickname; yes, I love it, too—striker Jake Keegan was still behind him. Rather, it's how precisely Keegan plays it, lurking behind the action just long enough for Irving to walk all the way back to line up a clearance before the striker scampers to the ball, only to pull up three steps beforehand in order to perfectly position himself in front of goal.

The two-second standoff at the 38-second mark foreshadows the outcome. Keegan knows Irving's fucked. Irving knows it, too. A quick crossover, a desperate dive, a wide-open net, the easiest goal Keegan will ever score. This is the soccer equivalent of locking your keys in the car or forwarding an email to the exact wrong person; it's every time you forgot to pack something essential for a week-long vacation.

Life goes on and Callum Irving's will, too. No real harm was done, so he'll probably laugh at himself sooner than later. It's still pretty damn embarrassing.
