German international Mario Götze may have scored the winning goal for his country in the 2014 world cup final, but his luck wasn't so great on the pitch of one gamer's PlayStation 3 copy of FIFA.
Mario Thissen was enraged when Götze missed a 90th minute penalty in his game - so much so that he smashed his DualShock 3 into pieces. Not only that, but the FIFA fan went as far as to message the Bayern Munich midfielder on Facebook, blaming him for the missed virtual penalty.
Amazingly, the German football star actually replied to the angered gamer, apologising for the miss. Better yet, Götze even offered to send Thissen a new controller. How's that for class both on and off the pitch?
Still, despite this being a rather brilliant story, we have to wonder if Götze would have replaced a DualShock 4, had Thissen been playing FIFA on PlayStation 4. Those things are expensive.

I hope its dipped in treacle, why would he reward a bad tempered facebooker. Silly. Smells like PR.
Why reply to a Muppet, ive seen this on twitter and facebook. So called celebrities only reply to trolls and ridiculous comments. Fair play to Gotze but its a bit odd... Hes the cover star of PES :/ confused
@themcnoisy Good point, that. Konami will probably get rid of him next.
Goons all round then, clearly Konami didn't pay him enough
@ShogunRok They already did:
@Wesker Ah, of course. Damn, Konami moves fast.
Its like the equivalent of a normal person throwing a penny away so I doubt he put much thought into other then showing up the numpty complaining.

I would have just told the guy to stop getting mad at video games.
As dumb as the kid was, at least Götze had a bit of fun with it.
They should just create a controller that looks like a brick and can't easily be broken. That should be a good fit for these brainless brogamers. Oops, I mean "special little angels".
I'm pretty sure it's his fault for sucking in the game, but the soccer player guy acted really calm and cool about it, gotta respect that (yea sorry that I obviously know nothing about football/soccer )
I once missed with Miroslav Klose but hey. Lol
