Hungarian goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly, famous for wearing sweatpants during Euro 2016 and therefore becoming international soccer's official Dad, has won the UEFA Save of the Season Award for denying a Kevin de Bruyne free kick during Hungary's 4-0 loss to Belgium in the round of 16.

 

The easiest explanation for how so old a man (Kiraly is 40, if you couldn't tell by the sweatpants) could make so athletic a move is Dad strength. Kiraly swatted Kevin de Bruyne like de Bruyne was asking him for the car keys, or if he could get a neck tattoo or an eyebrow piercing. After the save, someone in the stands probably said "I'm speechless", and then Kiraly heard them and said "hi speechless, I'm Gabor" — the ultimate Dad joke.

After he made that save, he made fun of your friends, expertly packed up a cooler, went fishing, came back home, grilled the fish he caught for dinner and then watched a Mythbusters marathon.
