1. To eat humble pie – To admit your error and apologize.

“After loosing the match, the captain had to eat the humble pie.”

2. A pig in a poke – An item you purchase without having seen,

Disappointment.
“The bicycle that my nephew bought, turned out be a pig in a poke, and
he is now trying to get his money back.”

3. A flash in the plan – Promising and then disappointing.

“The rookie hit many home runs in spring training, but once
the season began he proved to be a flash in the plan.”
