I thought this was going to be a thread about World Cup WAGS.


Very disappointed.

Keegan's is bad but seen far, far worse to be honest.
Sad thing about the Yakubu miss is the suspicion that would be around if a Nigerian was to miss a chance like that this time round

Can't think of any World Cup games with glaring misses, but the 2 that spring to mind are Peter Van Vossen v Celtic and Didier Agathe versus the mutants.

Van Vossen miss below, I dare you not to laugh!!!

Again, not an international match, but worthy of inclusion all the same.

Can't remember if it was a World Cup or euro qualifier, but Chris Illuwumo's miss against Norway has to be up there.. :greengrin

I've always liked this miss by Pele against Uruguay in the 1970 World Cup, for the sheer genius of the dummy he sells the keeper to get into a goal-scoring position in the first place!

:greengrin I thought it was taking a while to get a response, though I'm sure we qualified in 1970.
