The BIGGEST Upsets in World Cup History 

Ok this actually made me laugh

Lol that’s insane

greatest WWII joke ive heard in a while

your comment has nothing to do with football, just like your IQ has nothing to do with intelligence

@@blabla-rg7ky ? Why you mad bruh

Lucas Nauan FACTS, throughout that whole game he was coming in dumb clutch

Germany could have scored 5 goals had it not been for him. And also Mexico should thank him because they would have been out

His name is Jo Hyeon Woo, he once played for Daegu and now he plays at Ulsan. His saves are brilliant but has to fight for starter job at national team due to lack of kicking skills.

IMO he is one of the best in terms of reflexes, but his other skills are not that great

Well actually it was because Brazil lost 7-1 even and they were hosting the World Cup so it’s rlly embarrassing

It's the heaviest defeat in Brazilian football history, even overtaking Brazil's 0-6 loss to Uruguay in 1920

@@lawrencema667 plus Germany slowing down their game becouse didn't want to humiliates Brazil more than that Idk something just wrong with Brazil in that match, I'm not Brazilian nor a fan but watching that game feel painful

@@CharDhue The main problem with Brazil was that Neymar and regular Captain Thiago Silva were both out of the match due to injury and suspension respectively, so David Luiz was appointed captain instead. As a result, the Brazilian defence was extremely disorganized (According to Thomas Muller after the match)

It wasn't the reason that Germans were good, they were ....the Brazilians were simply terrible ...their defence looked like they had never met each other at a game. (Even Northern Ireland wouldn't have conceded so many goals that evening)

Especially since that 1950 Brazil lineup was fucking legendary, and Brazil in 2014 was only a shell of the team who beat Germany in 2002, it was above my expectations that we reached the semis even, I thought we were going out in the quarter finals against Colombia, the team played awfully, lost Neymar even, was a fucking miracle that Colombia didn't went through.

Also a rigged game.

​@@nickslobodsky4444 No Brazilian, their mother and father would want that Game rigged, that game was something that would change football forever, those cannot be rigged

It's not an intentional handball but I can still understand the ref awarding it.

Yeah it isn’t intentional, his hand is in an unnatural position though

...It's weird, at first glance I thought it was a bad call. But after watching the replay you can clearly see he held his arm up as a last ditch effort to deflect the ball. Clearly intentional. Very well done by the ref, a lot would have missed that.

😂😂

Asensio was like oh sh*t when he saw pique used his hand

"Even the goal keeper is gonna score at this rate"

Germany Braziled Brazil lol

Because they were the golden era of world cups

The World Cup doesn’t have a great history of upsets. The ones that immediately come to mind are Germany vs Hungary 1954 and USA vs England 1950. Usually the better team wins, or the teams are close enough in talent that it’s not considered a major upset even if the favorite loses.

@@juanelorriaga2840 is there any video footage from that game?

Was glad i scalped my tickets for paraguay italy game. It was snowing and very late start and turned out very boring 😂

Any team going to the World Cup , relying on a 37 year old (Fabio Canavaro) in the middle of defense is in trouble. Believe it or not, I knew in advance, just because of this reason Italy won't make it to the next stage. Not to mention the fact that their main stars from 2006 World Cup (Del Piero, Totti, and Nesta to the best of my recollection)had already retired with no new talent being able to replace them.

New Zealand didn't even lose a game during the 2006 world cup

Not to mention Italy losing to Costa Rica in 2014.

Alex F Wasn’t he joking that they didn’t win because they didn’t even qualify it..?

Yea I agree Serbia got first an the qualifier group which is more of a shock

they were NOT favorites and limped in with some EUFA help, played entitled and slow. Waste of a spot.

You'd be silly to say the defending champions aren't among the favourites, plus given they also won Euro 2000 it looked like the team, if anything, were getting stronger, with players who weren't in the 1998 squad or only played a minor role (Henry, Vieira, Trezeguet, Makelele, Wiltord, plus Pires who was unfortunately injured) established and peaking, and trustworthy seniors like Desailly, Leboeuf, Thuram and Lizarazu. The biggest doubt was around Lemerre's tactics, and whether he could keep the team balanced, but he arguably had proven himself when winning Euro 2000. They just happened to come up against teams who had effectively sussed out their tactics, and injuries to Zidane and Pires did not help.

@@Zzyzzyzzs France was NOT a champion in 2010 as Italy won the World Cup in 2006 and Spain the european competition in 2008. Also Zidane resigned from french national team after the lost WC-final in 2006 as well as he ended his club career at Real Madrid during that summer. The scandalous hand-supported goal in the qualify play-off against Ireland by Thierry Henry that promoted France who never deserved this to the final tournament in South Africa was the main upset as well as the two by two equalizer from Lampard in the round of sixteen match between Germany and England close to half-time, which had been falsely denied though the ball passed the line by about the half of a meter before bumping out of the goal again, leading the germans to a never endangered 4-1 win. The scene caught by camera was a source for widely spread sarcastic comments showing a photo-shopped zig-zag goal line titled _"Whats wrong with u brits? Apparently NO goal."_ By the way, both scenes where absolute decisive for establishing todays "hawk eye" and "video assistant referee" technologies.

i actually tipped that; did pretty well across the tournament i recall...

@Harsh kumar Joshi as if football isnt the most popular sport and world cup isnt the most watched competiton

Truly. So unique and spectacular.

Which one tho

I don't get why the French (2006 runner up) elimination was considered a bigger upset than the Italian's (defending champions) in the same stage

Don't forget Italy summoned the champions curse. The following world cup Spain received it, and after that world cup, Germany had it.

France is next!

@@moritzguderian8381 France also got the champions curse in 2002. They lost to newcomers Senegal and were out in the group stages. I guess the curse skipped out on Brazil in 2006

@@williamtedja7693 Brazil’s curse was more drawn out. They did fine in their group, although underwhelming, then got an easy win against Ghana, only to lose in an upset against an aging France team in the quarter finals. For a Brazil team that had just been to 3 consecutive finals (1994, 1998, 2002) that was a catastrophic performance.

BU_ DO Also Costa Rica beating Italy and Uruguay.

The only world cup with HD quality vid 🤣

They forgot Costa Rica’s run in 2014. Were placed in a group with Uruguay, Italy and England, everyone, including me, expected them to get eaten alive. First game vs Uruguay they start off losing 1-0 and turn it around to win 3-1, second game they beat Italy 1-0 and 3rd they tie 0-0 with England and top the group. Then in the round of 16 they defeat Greece and go up against Holland in the quarter finals taking them all the way to penalty shootouts, arguably being robbed of a penalty in regular time that could’ve seen them advance to the semis.

Believe it or not, most highlight videos don't put much effort in

This video has a Mexican bias. How about the times Mexico was upset by Tunisia (78), Norway (94) or the United States (2002)?

not to take away anything from japan as that was an excellent victory but germany has been so bad since their win in 2014. would have thought they would have recognized that rebuilding was needed after a poor WC2018 but they repeated the same mistakes in WC2022 and even brought back over the hill mueller and still played neuer who let every ball in.

The upset not being who won but how and being in the semi finals against the host country of the most storied team in WC history. Tough to beat. Ask the Brazilians, lol.

As a Brazilian I have to say that people will never see something like that in football again. I mean, 7-1 in your own country, a semi-finals game and besides that Klose surpassed Ronaldo as the World Cup All-time scorer. Some people here even to this day dislike the national team because of it
