How did he miss that? Dutch star fluffs open goal chance

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar missed an open goal

Netherlands' striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is widely regarded as one of Europe's finest, but the Schalke 04 man seemed to leave his shooting boots at home when facing Mexico.

Presented with a gift of a chance from all of two yards out, Huntelaar had an open goal to poke into, but conspired to fluff his lines to the amazement of everyone. It proved to be a costly miss as the Dutch eventually lost 3-2 to their North American opponents.

It may not be the worst miss in history, but it's pretty shocking.
