The Worst Miss Of The Year With A Happy Ending

Melbourne Victory midfielder James Troisi had an open goal. He then committed perhaps the worst A-League miss of the century in the Melbourne Derby. 

Remember those drills you had as a child, where you had to pass the ball through some cones at varying distances? Troisi apparently never mastered that skill. 

Remember taking shots at an open goal to improve accuracy? Troisi apparently struggles with that too. 

You know how passing to a stationary target is easier than hitting a moving target? Yeah, Troisi never figured that one out either. 

That Ezequiel Barco Guy? Yeah He’s Really, Really Good

Ezequiel Barco, the 18-year-old Argentinian youth international who smashed the MLS transfer record back in January when Atlanta United paid $15 million for his services, scored his first goal for Atlanta Wednesday night in a friendly against Minnesota United.  

Playing at the Carolina Challenge Cup preseason tournament in Charleston, Barco’s first goal for the club salvaged a 1-1 draw in the 85th minute for Tata Martino’s boys.

Valdez is a 24-year-old native of Baja California, and the defender scored the goal of match week seven with this effort.
