Something super easy to do that requires zero effort or special preparation. When a task is pan comido, you could do it asleep, with your eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back.

A soccer move where you pass the ball through your opponent's legs, also known as a "nutmeg" in English. Pulling off a caño is the ultimate act of showboating on the field, it generates louder screams from the crowd than an actual goal and leaves the defender looking completely foolish.

To screw everything up, to not get a single thing right. This expression comes from soccer, describing someone who can't even kick the ball properly, and it is used for any situation where absolutely nothing is going your way.
