With his side trailing 1-0 in the second-half, the Brazilian midfielder comically trotted towards the ball before leaning back and curling his half-hearted strike into the advertising boards.

Notable nominations include Simone Zaza's miss against Germany in the quarter-final of the Euro 2016, Robert Pires' and Thierry Henry's hatchet job against Manchester City, David Beckham's miss against Turkey and Robert Baggio's skied shot against Brazil.
Take a lap Dodô. In fact, take two. That was brutal.
