For the second game in a row, Gabor Kiraly broke out some completely unnecessary skill

No need

How do you not love Gabor Kiraly?

The only 40-year-old who can get away wearing grey sweatpants to work has been a joy to watch in this tournament.

Sure, he’s made some decent saves and even managed to keep a clean sheet in Hungary’s Group F opener against Austria.

But it’s Kiraly’s bizarre decisions to break out gratuitous skill that have captured the hearts of the viewers.

On Saturday, Kiraly oddly opted to deliver a ball out of the box by snapping it á la a NFL centre.

And during Hungary’s final group game, the former Crystal Palace stopper channelled his inner Thierry Henry to deliver a no-look pass to a teammate in the dying seconds of the game.

Needless, completely cosmetic, and utterly hilarious.
