Even I could have made that open goal he missed the other day. I thought he was suppose to be one of the best players in the world. If you haven't seen.... it http://shrt.fm/eynwDF

Good players can have bad games too. His goal/appearance ratio's fantastic this season.

He's certainly lost a step but as an Inter fan i've been happy with his motor and enthusiasm, two things that wavered on and off with Zlatan.

Is he better than Zlatan? No way, Zlatan is the best Serie A striker I can recall. But that deal was worth it.

OP, you would have been bent over with your hands on your knees gasping for air if you were in that game.

He **** up. It's not the first nor the last time an amazing player will make a big mistake.

LOL!

But it wasn't that easy. But yes, he should have made that goal. But I'm glad he didn't :D

Sometimes happens to miss like this, even the greatest ever missed some easy goals too.

Eto'o is a legend, I think he's much better than Sneijder.

Well, Sneijder and Eto'o are different players. I'd pick Sneijder if I was forming a team though.

I don't like Eto'o very much, but you can't say a player is bad because of a horrible miss.

Over their careers Eto is a beast but Sneijder still has plenty more good years in his career compared to Eto.

At the peak of his career, I considered Eto'o to be the consummate striker.
