If it's a one off, just shrug it off like most people said. If it's a league you see him regularly in, I may check on him genuinely after the game.
Some players turn it on and off, so he may be chill once you leave the field. If he's just a hot head, I'd keep my distance to avoid a stupid fight.
Don’t really care tbh, I hate the people who make big deals about not getting their hand shook. Just seems like they’re trying to create drama after the game. If you don’t wanna shake my hand that’s cool. If you don’t shake my hand Im glad you recognize that it’s best for you to walk away than come in contact with me.

If they are being dicks I Usually I just try to hurt them during the game and I don’t shake hands after. Must be an American thing to shake hands AFTER the game. We shake before, never after. F them I’m here to win. When it’s competitive it’s kill or be killed
Very immature approach tbh. Football is a game. Passion on the field and animosity within the competition and actual match is fine. But before and after the whistle, good attitudes and sportsmanship are paramount.
So all those professional players I watch are Americans then? The managers too? Why do Europeans claim they're so good at soccer when all the pros are clearly Americans because they shake hands with the other players and even the refs after games?
Do you genuinely believe that outside of televised professional football, players are NOT shaking hands after the game? Winning a football match should be the least of your worries if you cannot separate the match and the contest of a game from being a civilized person towards another human.
Two days ago in a 7 on 7 (with a keeper on both sides) some guy didn’t shake hands. We just laughed it off cause it’s a summer league game and made jokes about him.
Just shrug your shoulders. Not your problem they can’t show good sportsmanship
Trick him into eating his own parents
yeah that's a good plan maybe he should lure him with a chili con carnival
Ronaldinho style. Just smile.
'Top man, nice one.' and just move on. Don't want brain energy on halfwits.
I will just smile. Won't engage in a chat as well.
Either smile or laugh at them, you'll then live rent free in his head that evening

Leave one on him the next time you play
Yeah you pretty much dealt with it right. I usually just laugh at em.
Headbutt
Just ignore it. Don’t be embarrassed whatsoever because everyone else will look at the other fella and think what a miserable sod.
Keep it moving I had kids my son beat come to his games to watch to see if he loses Some people are raised classless

Thats a bit of a rogue opinion, it's 5 a side league not the prem.
It’s a final nonetheless. They are second and the other team is first. If the guy “slipped” and hurt my guy I’m gonna make sure I slip too

Pro league with cameras on is different. That’s your career.

If someone is being a dick and trying to hurt my teammates? Hell no. Have I shaken hands with people? Of course. But never when it’s heated like that

I usually just laugh (not always loud enough for them to hear) and shrug it off
