Famous American actor commits one of the most cringe-worthy soccer crimes possible and films it. Oh no…

Ah, it’s hard to excuse, no doubt. Surely, one of Ted’s “Eight Slaps” should be doled out to the “How I Met Your Mother” star for his football faux pas.

Father and son excitedly attend their first ever soccer game. We can smile at the part.
