Miss a GOAL

Hi, Hello beloved teachers.

Is it OK for me to say: miss a goal (the goal here can have 2 meanings: the score in football & a personal objective)

Are both meanings OK with "miss"?

Thank You.

Anonymous Are both meanings OK with "miss"? Yes, but I'd say that both would be viewed as an event. " That's an event.

(Otherwise, we'd say "I missed achieving my goal," or "the team missed scoring a goal." - failed to achieve/score)

"The player kicked the ball, but he missed the goal." That's an event.
