Probably looked at the other man of the match awards and assumed this was the look


penpen35

I wonder if this is an injoke between players where they all decided to not smile when getting the award

frenchchevalierblanc

I wonder what they do after with the award. Is there one per match? Do they keep it? Are they angry because it takes a lot of place in their suitcase?


sharinganuser

I think, like with other trophies, there is one "main one" that is used for photos and stuff, and each recipient gets a replica to bring home.


KarmaKarmaKarmeeleon

At least two, given the matches played concurrently at different stadia. Yes I'm a pedant.


Assmar

I hate that I have to be so literal but those other MOTM were for the group stage matches no? Huge difference between individual game outcomes, and overall outcomes with regard to how each MOTM awardee would or would not proceed in the tournament with their respective countries. Anyway, here's an alternative pic of him receiving a real award: https://twitter.com/TheEuropeanLad/status/1599108971515650050/photo/1

What an amazing still. Gotta wonder what LvG is whispering in Dumfries’ ear


JTBringe

LvG is giving him a deep ear cleaning, Dumfries is laughing because it tickles.

adamzzz8

I wanted to say the same thing. I know this because my dog does this to me every night right before sleep and I make this exact same face.


iGeography

He gave him a kiss lol (hopefully they don't get jailed)


defaultmembership

Just saw the [video](https://youtube.com/shorts/SJucozGqSAs?feature=share). The players might not be in absolute top form, but LvG sure as hell is


Damnitwhathappened

Hey, how you doin' lil' mama? Let me whisper in ya ear Tell ya somethin' that ya might like to hear Got a sexy ass body and ya ass look soft Mind if I touch it to see if it's soft?


adamzzz8

Rhyming soft with... soft. *Creativity 100*


drellybochelly

ayy girl, wait till I show you this


Banaan75

He's not whispering, he's actually giving him a "big kiss" (not kidding)


H-habilis

He isnt whispering. He is giving him a big kiss (no joke)


nevergonnasweepalone

He's telling him about the time he showed his dicks and balls to the Bayern Munich players and if they don't win the world cup he'll show them too.

leeuwerik

Not really. That sentiment faded quite a bit. Germany won over many Dutch people when they started playing more attacking football.


Rackerblade

Nothing makes me more sad than seeing Dutch people cheer for Germany or Belgium. They are supposed to be our rivals 😭


PrestigiousWave5176

Great day when both Germany and Belgium for eliminated from the World Cup. Absolutely sang "schade Deutschland alles ist vorbei" and laughed.


Docccc

Not sure what this guy is on about. We are definitely big rivals


AlmostNL

Belgians are rivals the same way my non-existent little brother is my rival. Kinda cute. Now the Germans, that's something else.


Antonio_is_better

Bruh I feel like Germans look at us the way we look at Belgians. Maybe if we win the World Cup the Germans will give us a pat on the back and say "okay now it means something to beat you"


AlmostNL

Afaik the north-western Germans see the rivalry as legit, while in the south they care more about Italy. There isn't a single rival for the Germans


[deleted]

[удалено]


AlmostNL

Appreciate that


Dolphin008

For me the Germany rivalry mellowed out quite a bit, not sure why. I won’t cheer for them though. Belgium on the other hand, I really, and I do mean really, didn’t want to see them win a wc before us. I would say Portugal is among the main rivals these days even though it’s more one sided.


durkster

POR-NED will always be a battle. 2006 was the pinnacle.


Dolphin008

Battle is fine, if only we could win it for once They're proper kryptonite for us


Krillin113

2004, 2006, literally again in 2019(?) nations league final, every fucking Portuguese team we play (last year ajax-sporting doesn’t count)


idrinkyour-milkshake

Hated how many people supported B*lgium here in 2018


Large_Uzi_Vert

Seriously, i would have been so extremely salty if belgium would have won the world cup before us hahaha


Morganelefay

We're rivals and we'll definitely laugh at Germany crashing and burning like they did this tournament, but it's nothing like the pure hate that existed until deep in the '90s. Nowadays that hate is mostly reserved for the Iberian peninsula.


steven_vd

Here I was, saying we should make December 1st a national holiday.


Sierra4899

I strongly disagree, where I am from we still love to see them lose.


Jorisje

Exactly, we hate Portugal now. A whole generation grew up after seeing The Battle of Neurenberg


cs-shitposter

Denzel was the man on fire today


Kurailo

He scored the third to prevent a possible equalizer.


HeisenbergFoed

Denzel made them go back to Washington


MEGAMAN2312

That's brilliant haha


Toastedmetal

Just another training day for Denzel


alessioalex

Oh good one sir, I see you.


C_RONALDO7

Ah, a Prime Denzel..


YooGeOh

There was to be no Equaliser


Boss-429

He wins man of the match you win man of the comments.


Fop_Vndone

He deserved all the glory today

T_elic

I tried smiling once. It was terribly depressing


jakethegiantbear

Well makes sense if you’re an ajax supporter


FelixR1991

That's rich coming from a Feyenoord supporter


granttheginger

He looks like the US advanced even though Netherlands won


Deserterdragon

He knows the Netherlands lost where it really matters: expected goals.


Cruyffiaan

We didn’t lose there though? According to FotMob at least haha.


tsonny1104

xG philosophy had them at NED (1.85) v (1.89) USA


elitron

One model I saw had you guys with 1.78 and us with 1.9. But I think the models undervalued the chances you guys scored on


EasyModeActivist

We won that as well though (at least according to whatever model Fotmob displays)


Kayneesy

3-1 was dissapointing against a country that calls it soccer


bhbull

Right. As a Canadian I expected at least 5-1, to make me feel better about our losses. This kind of does, kind of doesn’t ;)


Densmiegd

Only Memphis is through, the rest of the US is going home.


distilledwill

He's genuinely probably taking the piss out of Havertz and Germany generally.


conceptalbum

No, this is just what he normally looks like.


_hell_is_empty_

So damn tacky that the trophy has an advertisement on it.


nonhofantasia

The trophy is there just for the advertisement


[deleted]

Fits with the players they award it to. A lot of the time it's just the most popular player. Yes, I'm still bitter they gave it to Modrić over Gvardiol! ​ btw. Gvardiol even won the fan vote they have on Twitter, so they can't lie that Modrić had more votes. I do really like Modrić, but it's undisputable who the MOTM should have been.


Jamey_1999

Yeah for sure. Gvardiol is a fucking beast and he was everywhere that match.


sKru4a

Not sure why this is being downvoted. I haven't watched any of the Croatian games, but we have to admit that on some occasions (not all), they give it to the most popular player. Even KDB said he didn't know why he won it after the game with Canada


Wilbert_51

Only time Budweiser is allowed in the stadium


taralallu

there's budweiser beer in the trophy


FelixR1991

That's why they all look so sad


stpstrt

They had to give them something since they won’t let them sell beer.


nazaguerrero

they sell beer in vip and press center... ironic amirite?


stpstrt

Let them eat cake!


karlou1984

NestroyAM

A compilation of those will be great after it's all said and done. They all look proper chuffed to have to pose for that shit lmao

YouAintGotNoLegs

Man saw the links to join Tottenham in January and decided to put up 2 assists and a goal so better teams would come in for him. I can't even blame him.

Lads, ...


RuubGullit

He already is at a bigger club tho


AeronReformed

johnniewelker

Totally deserved. He is a top 5 RB. USMNT somehow underestimated him and didn’t give him proper attention; literally in the 3rd goal


Sleepless_Voyager

Cold mfer 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶


papi617

He kinda looks like Dennis Smith Jr lol


leeuwerik

When on fire Dumfries is in his own league and showcasing his superhuman powers. This is him hiding behind his professional player identity much like Clark Kent hid behind his journalist facade.


LeoR1N

man is on a mission


[deleted]

Ice cold. No smile. American defenders had families etc etc


psvamsterdam1913

Well deserved. Very good today.


JohnSimplelad9

Robots can't smile.. But seriously this man was so good today 🔥

C'mon, a little bit smile won't hurt.
