Rio Olympics 2016: Australian football player has a howler trying to drink a bottle of water

IT seems the Brazilian heat got the better of Australian footballer Lisa De Vanna when she forgot how to use a water bottle.

The team captain was embarrassingly spotted by TV cameras lifting up the wrong end of the bottle to take a sip during their match against Brazil.
