VIDEO: The top 10 worst misses in football history

There has been a sudden spate of missed open goals in recent weeks, so we thought it was time to compile a top 10 of the worst of all time.

Here are some very recent candidates:

Jakub "Kuba" Blaszczykowski, Dortmund against Freiburg: beautiful ball past the advancing goalkeeper, Kuba has only to run on to the ball and pop it into the net ...


Fahad Khalfan against Uzbekistan: He's done the hard bit, the goalkeeper has inexplicably leapt over the ball, so why does he decide to hit it with the outside of his left foot from there?

Alan Gatagov, Lokomotiv Moscow v Sibir: it's a bit of a scramble, but he really must score ...

And some not-so-recent ones:

Ronnie Rosenthal, Liverpool v Aston Villa. Again, he's done the hard part, so how come the bar gets in the way?

Rocky Baptiste, Harrow Borough v Waltham Abbey: aka, the Rocky Baptiste Horror Show.
