The Incredible Moment A Pro FIFA Player Rage Quits During Tournament

We've all been there. You're playing an intense game of FIFA, you conceded the most ridiculous goal known to man because your goalkeeper threw it straight to the opposition striker.

Controllers are thrown, rage-quitting ensues. Whether you're getting whooped 7-0, or lose by the most narrow margin, it's an entirely natural reaction to quit a game.

The VFB Stuttgart representative was subsequently disqualified from the competition and sent out the following tweets commenting on the incident:

His antics have caused mixed reaction on social media:

The time-wasting was a bit petty but I've definitely some worse shithouse tactics just from playing games in our office, so you can understand why people would be unhappy with Erhan's decision.
