This kangaroo invaded a soccer game and started playing keeper

Good roo.

A kangaroo took the pitch during a soccer game in Australia between Belconnen Unites and FC Canberra over the weekend and this happened.

Honestly, I’m crushed this kangaroo would decide to play goalkeeper. You’ve got to learn to play to your strengths.

What do we know about kangaroos?

  • Giant powerful legs.
  • Amazing leaping ability.
  • Speed.
  • Agility.
  • Tiny sad dinosaur arms.

Do any of these traits scream “keeper” to you? No. They’re nature’s perfect strikers. Train a kangaroo to shoot and who is gonna stop it? Put them on the wing and who’s going to catch them? Put them in the box and they’ll leap higher than Cristiano.

Good kangaroo, but a waste of talent.
