Post by: asylumseeker on October 11, 2006, 03:08:21 AM: What ties are allowed? ;D Then here's another.

Italy 1-Cameroon 1 (1982)

Italy scored in the 60th minute and Cameroon responded in the 61st!

Obviously I'm kidding (re: biggest upset) but, considering that Italy drew each of its group matches (as did Cameroon) and then went onto to win the WC after narrowly qualifying out of group (over Cameroon!), I like the plot.

Sure Italy beat Argentina and Brazil en route to the trophy but what lucky bastards they were to make it to the second round. This was a Cameroon playing in its first WC! Paolo Rossi at this stage of the tournament was a rehabilitated footnote.

Post by: asylumseeker on October 12, 2006, 01:47:18 PM: Fordy, it wasn't South Korea. As posted by capodetutticapi, it was NORTH Korea - now of nuclear fame - that featured. They won 1-0.

From today's perspective, another remarkable aspect of that match is that no bookings were issued. (I almost used the term 'carded', but reds and yellows didn't come into effect until the '70 WC.)
