  1. Actually, as someone who once zoned out while rebounding in a b-ball game and put the rebound up for two…in our own end, I can tell you, I think this guy was trying to score — and didn’t realize until he’d struck it what he was doing.

  2. that’s either heinous or a poorly disguised throwing of a game. I’m going with a thrown match.

    I refuse to believe ANY player has that big of a lack of skill that he felt no confidence to play it out another way given that NO ONE else crashed the box. Pathetic.

  3. I’m sorry i think Mendes – Conway own goal last year was worse than this, simply because Conway had soooo much time to save it LOL

  4. Szep gol volt…mi boj van? Jo magyar fozi.

    The announcers were even funnier….they scream own goal, he says, “that’s unbelievable.”

  5. That’s pretty bad, but the worst I’ve ever seen is here in this clip. The clip that comes up is a combination of about 10 horrible goalie mistakes, but the one that happens at around the 20 second mark is just the worst own goal I’ve ever seen (I just don’t understand what happened). Wish I could get a longer clip of it with sound (and replays of other angles and such).

  6. i just watched it about 20 times in a row.

    the reaction of his team is priceless, it’s like one of those mass cult suicides crossed w/ simultaneous migraines headaches.

  7. Bad, but not even close to the worst ever. This was a reaction play, he’s trying to smash the ball out of danger and smashes it in instead. Worse are the own goals when the player has time to think (but doesn’t). They’re all painful, though.

  8. The Rio Ferdinand own goal for Man U last year was pretty close, too. But this sucks just for the situation – save a PK and your defense ruins it.
