Un día para olvidar: Recordando al hombre que se perdió 3 penales en un partido de la Copa América

Si alguna vez piensas que tienes un mal día en la oficina - tal vez tu alarma no sonó o el café sabe a basura o eres uno de los millones de personas que sufren de robo de salario - alégrate de no ser Martín Palermo, el hombre que tiene el récord mundial Guinness de más tiros penales fallados en un solo partido.

Los tiros de penalti son, típicamente, vistos como un gol automático. Un buen lanzador de penaltis parece que nunca fallará, como Luka Milivojevic del Crystal Palace.

FIFA World Cup Top Scorers (All Time)

As a competition that traces its roots back to 1930, not many sporting events do trips down memory lane quite like the World Cup.

Franck Ribery Is Still Bitter About Losing 2013 Ballon d’Or To Ronaldo; He Might Have A Point

The 2013 Ballon d'Or was one of the closest votes in the history of the award, given to the world’s best footballer in a given year. 

And Franck Ribery is still bitter he didn’t win. 

Does he have a point? Maybe.
