Robert Green, World Cup, 2010
The Mistake: Goalkeeper Green let a weak shot by Team USA's Clint Dempsey slip through his fingers. That tied the game and sent heavily favored England into an uproar (while Americans everywhere rejoiced in their non-defeat).
We'd Cast: Tim Roth as Green. Too old, you say? Not after you hear the twist: Roth plays a middle-aged Green in postapocalyptic 2030. Convinced that the dystopian state of society came directly from his mistake, Green builds a time machine and travels back to June 12, 2010, to try to correct history. He's chased by his old arch-nemesis (and mutant overlord) Clint Dempsey, played by Ron Perlman.
