It’s Official – They Reckon This The Worst 20 Seconds Of Football Ever [Video]

Sometimes a footie game is sublime from start to finish, but if you're looking for 20 seconds of complete ineptitude we have you covered.

If you want to see why football is called ‘the beautiful game’ watch an El Clasico, where sporting giants Barcelona and Real Madrid (and Messi and Ronaldo) duke it out.

If you want to see what happens when the beautiful game doesn’t live up to its title, watch Queens Park Rangers versus Manchester City (pre-billionaire owners) from back in 1993.

We wouldn’t make you sit through the entire match – ain’t nobody got time for that – but please enjoy this little clip, voted by Italian magazine l’Ultimo Uomo as the worst 20 seconds of football ever.

Crank up the volume to enjoy the commentator suffering through it as well:

At least I didn’t see anyone dabbing or engaging in an elaborate handshake.
