It is something that happens occasionally to all football players, even the best ones in the game.
He receives the ball from a teammate who pretty much has done all the work...and all he has to do is convert a seemingly easy goal-scoring opportunity to put his side ahead, or in some cases, equalize.
However, time and time again, fans have seen their favourite players astonishingly miss from point-blank range, much to the embarrassment of the player and chagrin of his fellow teammates.
Yesterday, the Netherlands welcomed Ghana as the two sides prepared for the upcoming World Cup by facing off in a friendly. And although the match finished as a 1-0 victory in favour of the hosts, things could have been different had Arjen Robben converted his chance seen below.
In this case, the Bayern Munich star, who usually has no difficulty in finding the back of the net, incredibly chipped the ball over the target with the goal at his mercy.
