Neymar Misses Penalty Kick, Pretty Sure I Could Have Nailed This One



Well, this is embarrassing...

Brazilian's star player Neymar was lining up for a penalty shot in a friendly against Columbia played at MetLife Stadium in New York when this happened.  The goal could have given Brazil a one goal edge with 10 minutes remaining in the match, but instead, Neymar did his best Adam Vinatieri impression, blasting the ball at least 50 rows up.

I didn't think it was even possible for the ball to rise as fast as it did, but there's the proof.  Neymar did have a defense prepared for this miserable shot, though.

"The penalty was horrible but you probably noticed the state the pitch was in, it didn't have any stability," he said. ”I tried to take it slowly but it didn't work out, these things happen."

Ibrahimovic Scores Best Goal Probably Ever



I mean, what's there to say about this goal?  It's absolutely unreal that the ball found its way to the back of the net.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic could have either landed flat and broke himself, or scored one of the prettiest goals that this planet will ever see.  As if this goal isn't good enough on its own, Ibrahimovic had already scored three goals prior, and was the only Swedish player to score in a 4-2 friendly win over England.

Wow.
