2. Fahad Khalfan

Although many disagreed with their choice as hosts of the exalted tournament, if Fahad Khalfan is anything to go by, they will provide some classic comedy moments. In added time after a friendly match with Uzbekistan, Khalfan's persistence forced an error in the opposition defense. The keeper essentially allowed the ball to pass through his legs, and probably thought that he would be the centre of attention in the latest Christmas edition of "Own Goals and Gaffs". But Khalfan stole the spotlight for himself when he strode towards the goal to ensure he couldn't miss, and then struck the post. Roll on 2022.

1. Rocky Baptiste

http://youtu.be/nvYOA4BXIqk When writing earlier that certain players have been defined by a missed opportunity, the career of Rocky Baptiste truly sums this up perfectly. As a semi-professional footballer playing at the time for Harrow Borough, his life as a footballer was never destined for fame or stardom (apart from one match against Liverpool in the FA Cup). However, with one of the most shocking moments in footballing history, he became more renowned then he could have ever imagined. A match between Harrow and Waltham Abbey would be the inauspicious environment for what many call the Miss of the Century. After rounding the goalkeeper, Baptiste got as close as possible to the goal without crossing the line and viciously struck, only to see his ball strike the far post and go out of play. The incident was so comically atrocious that it seemed to have the referee laughing, as Baptiste transcended the lower leagues of English football into global notoriety as the man who seemed to defy logic and physics by squandering the easiest open goal in history.
