Welcome to Fail City, my friends.
I recently came across a viral soccer video courtesy of the ladies of Maidstone United. If you’ve never heard of that team, there’s a reason for it, and it’s probably because they’re hot garbage.
If you don’t believe me, get a load of this mind-bendingly incapable soccer sequence.
