The Soca Warriors held Sweden to a draw in game one. TNT started the year of world cup upsets.

After that game which game ranks as the biggest upset so far?

I agree with you at that

Ghana's 2-0 defeat of the Czech republic is considered the biggest upset thus far but I feel that's because Ghana was underestimated all tournament.

Its a tie between our draw with Sweden and the Ghana defeat of the Czechs

THe biggest upset so far is Brazil not making the finals.
Second is Sweden versus Trinidad and Tobago.

I wouldn't say our game against Sweden was an upset as much as it was a shock

I think Ghana vs. Czech Rep was the biggest upset....far bigger than our game against sweden..

I agree wid dat, Brazil not in de finals is ah big shock tuh de world. Wid dat group of players, yuh would think dey cud turn it on anytime, and embarrass de other teams, but ah guess dey cannot.

The way people carrying on, it would appear the the English loss to Portugal is ranking up dey in terms of upsets.

Judging by FIFA rankings of teams prior to the tournament, which team besides Brazil, has fallen the most?

jub02 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 02, 2006, 10:02:03 AM »

Spain.. but fifa rankings mean nothing..It would mean USA Also..as the USA and Spain are tied in 5th place for rankings.

trinidad holding Sweden is biggest upset for me

jub02 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2006, 02:00:05 PM »

england fans love you for that serious

Midknight · « **Reply #18 on:** July 02, 2006, 02:05:14 PM »

The biggest upset was what Crouch do Sancho...that had me upset for days...

seriously though, I notice nobody ent calling angola name. They held Mexico to 0-0 with 10 men as well...That should rank about the same with us against Sweden, and judging by fifa rankings, even more...

jub02 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 02, 2006, 03:29:14 PM »

fifa rankings mean nothing! do you rate USA and Spain at the same level?
Do you rate Nigeria 11th?
Do you rate Germany lower than the USA..alot lower?
Do you rate czech republic 2nd?
etc etc

Midknight · « **Reply #20 on:** July 02, 2006, 04:00:55 PM »

i wasn't particularly making a case for the rankings...I was just saying... the problem is according to your point of view, you could make the case for sweden being a middling european side

and actually yes. I rate a fit injury free with nedved on song czech republic 2nd

sweetjo · « **Reply #21 on:** July 02, 2006, 07:40:25 PM »

When Ghana beat the Czechs and of course, the fact that Brazil going home already.

Latent · « **Reply #22 on:** July 02, 2006, 07:44:55 PM »

Is Ghana defeating USA really an upset? I really don't understand how an objective observer would have had the US as a favourite going into that game

AB.Trini · « **Reply #25 on:** July 03, 2006, 12:16:04 PM »

Crouch scored aganist us despite pictures which revealed that he blatantly pulled at Sancho's hair. The more I read of the English Whine against Cristiano, the more I get upset at Crouch for getting away with what he did.

sprog · « **Reply #26 on:** July 03, 2006, 12:47:14 PM »

No matter who they play once Brazil lose, that have to be the biggest upset, This was their world cup to lose and i guess they did just that. Trust me the biggest upset is yet to come, i feel Portugal taking it all in convincing fashion, Germany is the only team i feel can stop them.

jub02 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 03, 2006, 01:32:06 PM »

France all the way

Anytime USA draw with Italy that is a shock, far less with a man down for 2nd half

My biggest upset moments of this world cup:

1) When I jump on the train to Kaiserslautern and then 15 million other people cram in and have me holding onto a 70lb hiking backpack with somebody knee in meh calf. This was done for the entire 53 mins train ride.

2) When I lost meh camera with ALL the pics from Amsterdam in Kaiserslautern cause of pure dotishness on my part. That was a kinda sign of tings to come.

3) When meh partner loss his camera somewhere between Dortmund and Weisbadan with the picture of the girls I was supposed to meet the next day. I was so tight in Dortmund I couldnt even remember what they look like the next afternoon when i wake up so I start to look for the camera...only to realise he loss the damn ting..so I watching everybody hard hard trying to figure out if it was them or not. Actually this could be number 1 lol

Seriously though, biggest upset had to be ghana vs czech.
