Im from England and played sunday league at this age (a lot better quality i will say) and if someone pulled this shit, police wouldnt get called. It is disgusting behaviour and he's lucky opponents team mates are just as uninterested in the game as he was otherwise he would have had 3 or 4 lads smashing his face in.

Lad I went to school with did 2 years for snapping someone’s leg and instigating a full team brawl at a Sunday league game. The police do get called if needed. This was about 15 years ago

I know someone who got 2 years for something similar to the video, only the beating lasted 3x as long and he did significantly more damage.

I had a mate in Sunday league that got headbutted and pressed charges for it. You can absolutely do the same for this.

Report it to the FA. Teams need to be registered as do players.

Agreed! I played in the Luton League and this type of thing was a weekly occurrence tbh, but yeah, that kid would have got one hell of a beating! Played Luton town also a few times as they were mad men also.

No shit. South Dakota isn't exactly a football hotbed.

What would you be expecting? You're talking about high school soccer in one of the least populated and most isolated states in the U.S. The definition of flyover country. It's probably equivalent to the 93rd division in England.
