![Diana Ross' 'Penalty' at the 1994 World Cup Diana Ross' 'Penalty' at the 1994 World Cup]()
As first-time FIFA World Cup hosts, the USA wanted to put on a grandiose showing for the world to fawn over. Naturally, it wouldn't be an opening ceremony without something going wrong. American singing superstar Diana Ross was part of the occasion, and was expected to score a penalty as part of the event celebrating the tournament kicking off. Unfortunately, the world famous star contrived to fire her spot-kick wide - a feat made all the more embarrassing as the goal collapsed in two, regardless of her missing the target.
