20 Worst Ever Football Misses

4. Cristiano Ronaldo

http://youtu.be/d5ZePItpHvs Cristiano Ronaldo is undeniably one of the two greatest players on the planet. In his entire professional career he has scored 363 goals in 626 appearances for club and country, and in his current stint with Real Madrid, despite playing nearly 200 games, has a goalscoring ratio of over a goal a game. When he was at Manchester United he tore defenses apart with spectacular goals and was voted the World Player of the Year. But, he is still human, and football fans across the world must have been rolling with laughter following his unbelievable miss against Sheffield United. After some scintillating play between Rooney and Giggs, Ronaldo was left with what would have been the easiest goal of his career, but instead left it begging. This is the one moment in life most fans could say that they would be able to do something that Ronaldo couldn't do, but this one instance of fallibility hasn't been able to halt his success.

3. Ronnie Rosenthal

http://youtu.be/kiVq5-u7MH0 When the English Premier League fanbase often discusses one miss that is the worst of all time, one instance will be put forward more than any other. This is because of Ronnie Rosenthal, the man who put Israeli football on the map, which they are not particularly happy about. In a game between Liverpool and Aston Villa, David James' long ball forward left the entire Villa defense asleep, and Rosenthal nipped in ahead of the goalkeeper to be left with only the goal in his wake. When every Liverpool fan awaited the rustling of the net when he slides the ball home, Rosenthal leaned back and struck the ball with such venom that it cannoned off the crossbar and away to safety. The moment was so incomprehensible that it seemed to take a second to register with the Villa fans behind the goal, and poor Rosenthal went down in Liverpool history for providing the most notorious miss in the League's twenty-year history.
