20 Worst Ever Football Misses

18. Noah Hickey

http://youtu.be/MQbBTPcIDbs A glorious mistake from the realm of Futbol now. In many of these cases, these misses are just simple poor touches or missteps when they were genuinely just trying to tap a ball into the net. You can feel sympathy for most, but Noah Hickey decided to attempt to humiliate his opposition, and only succeeded in humiliating himself. Only requiring a simple tap-in, Hickey intended to demonstrate the silky skills that meant he couldn't be signed for an actual football team. A clever back-heel attempt turned into a pinball between his legs, and he got just what he deserved for having an overt amount of cockiness for his skill-set.

17. Diego Forlan

http://youtu.be/6_A6QHdWcXg One of the world's most lethal strikers of the past five years, Diego Forlan scored a ton of goals for Villareal, Athletico Madrid and Uruguay in a successful career. However, he was not always the goalscoring machine that he is now famed for being, as his stint at Manchester United aptly illustrated. With only 17 goals in 98 games, there were plenty of missed opportunities in his tenure in England. However, this miss against Juventus stands out as a key factor in why he wasn't able to make more of himself at United. This is probably why certain Spanish teams may have underestimated him when it turned out that he was actually rather good.
