Worst Way Not to Score Ever?

You’ve got it all figured out. You’ve broken through the backline. You’ve got an angle on the goalkeeper. All you have to do is slot the ball home and celebrate your goal.

Then, this happens…

That’s Daniel Nardiello, a Blackpool striker on loan at Bury, watching his certain goal roll to a halt a few inches from glory. What’s even worse about this is that they were playing at Gigg Lane, Bury’s home ground. So much for home field advantage.

You know where that would have been a goal? On any pitch in Major League Soccer. Yes. Perhaps Mr. Nardiello should ply his trade in America. We could use the strikers.
