Neymar, from 3 yards out, may have had the worst miss of his career

Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports

Neymar is a very good player, one who we expect to dribble around defenders and score the most remarkable of goals.

But sometimes he has it easy, like he did in Brazil's friendly against Ecuador. He had a wide open goal. All he had to do was tap it in. Just tap it in. Give it a little tappy. Tap tap taperoo.

And instead he managed to put it up, off the crossbar and overrun the rebound.

On the bright side, he neither fell on the ground and rolled around in hopes of getting a penalty, nor re-injured his back!
