- USMNT striker Daryl Dike might be good at scoring goals, but he's not so good at doing his laundry.
- Dike revealed Thursday that he's been washing his clothes with dishwasher soap for eight months.
USMNT striker Daryl Dike might be good at finishing off scores, but he's a bit less capable at household chores.
On Thursday, the 22-year-old hilariously revealed that he's mistakenly been washing his clothes with dishwasher soap since moving to England in January.
"For the longest time I've thought my washing machine was just very bad," Dike, who signed for Championship side West Bromwich Albion in January, said in a TikTok video.
"When I moved to this apartment I bought one of those huge bags of laundry detergent to wash my clothes.
"Recently, I ran out and went to the store to buy some more. I was looking for the bag but couldn't find it anywhere in the store and I'm thinking to myself, 'Why can't I find it?'
"So I come back home, look at the bag and realize I have been washing my clothes with dishwasher soap since I've been here!"
Dike had been washing his clothes with Finish Powerball – a powerful detergent designed to clean dishes and glasswear.
"I'm an idiot!" Dike continued. "How do I even do that?!"

Dike's video, which has been viewed over 50,000 times on TikTok online, provoked plenty of reaction online.
"Daryl Dike is my new favourite footballer," wrote British soccer presenter Lloyd Griffith on Twitter.
"Glorious," said the former Soccer AM presenter Max Rushden of Dike's video.
Sarah, a West Brom fan, tweeted: "This video of Daryl Dike has finished me off, lad has been walking round smelling like a dishwasher for 8 months."
Dike, who has made eight appearances and scored three goals for the USMNT, joined West Brom in January from MLS side Orlando City.
He has only made two appearances for the Baggies since his move due to injury.
