What a miss!

The scoreline reads 3-3. You receive the ball. No defenders around. You gallop towards the goal and dribble past the goalkeeper. The goal in sight! You speed towards the net, and with the ball on the goal line, you raise your hands in premature celebration, in full knowledge that millions of people around the world are watching and eagerly anticipating the glorious flourish. Then something else happen.

You trip over the ball and the ball is cleared away!

Well, that didn't happen over the weekend in the English Premier League. But something similar happened to a Mr Juan Manuel Leguizamon, an Argentine playing in the Rugby Union League in front of a record crowd.

(clip to follow once it's available)

That reminded me of what I consider the worst miss ever in football. For your viewing pleasure.
