Robert Green is (although, we'll see how long that lasts) a goal keeper for the English National Football Team. His job as goalie is to prevent the opposing team from scoring, but his utter, horrendous fuck up against the US National Team (specifically a very poorly kicked ball from Clint Dempsey), on June 12th, 2010, has made his name synonymous with any major clusterfuck to befall an unwitting human being.
Personally, I like the guy. I mean, I almost had him confused with an opposing, professional goalie, but that was cleared up around minute 40 of that match.
Dude 1: Yo, did you catch that soft ass goal that Clint Dempsey scored against Robert Green?
Dude 2: Yeah man, Robert Green is the softest motherfucker on the face of the Earth. British soccer hooligans have probably murdered his entire family.
Dude 1: I'm so glad we tied that, and maybe Robert Green's fuck up will make Capello put in Calamity James as keeper! THAT'LL work out well for those stupid Brits!
When you find yourself in the spotlight of the world, everyone watching, and you f*** up. You normally f*** up a task that could of been done by a child and smart monkeys.
In the world cup, someone kick the ball right you, from about 25 yards, with no real speed. Yet you someone manage to let it roll past you. That's when you know you could only be Robert Green
A very horrendous goalkeeping blunder,especially during the South Africa World Cup, the first which was made by Robert Green during the match between USA and England.
1. That goalkeeper just pulled off a Robert Green!
2. What were you doing down there on the pitch, doing a Robert Green?
when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"
FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
