ESPN Says Vázquez's Miss for Brady-Owned Birmingham Not the Worst Ever, Despite Viral Reaction
A close-range miss by Birmingham City forward Luis Vázquez drew widespread attention on social media, but ESPN argues it does not rank among the worst misses in the sport's history.
Birmingham City forward Luis Vázquez missed an opportunity from close range during a match on Saturday, according to ESPN. The miss quickly drew attention on social media and prompted comparisons to some of the most notorious misses in the sport, ESPN reported.
Birmingham City is part-owned by former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, a detail ESPN noted in its coverage of the incident.
Despite the reaction the miss generated, ESPN said the play does not come close to matching the worst misses ever recorded in the sport, without disputing that Vázquez failed to convert a clear chance.
ESPN did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding the exact minute of the match, the score at the time, or the opponent Birmingham City faced.
