idk i feel the 7-1 was quite more of a painful one. I mean yeah it was not in the final, and it was against German football machine, but 7.... against the football nation, 5 times champion, playing at home in a full yellow-green coloured stadium..... and again, seven goals....

yeah, but that's about the numbers...the German win itself was not out of order.

 

we're talking of teams winning matches that nobody would expect to happen.

 

no doubt that it was really painful (and somehow "unforgettable"), though.

I agree on the top 2, but today's score is nothing compared to 1950 decisive match :BRA  1:2 :URU 

and also a few more upsets in the history of the WC are comparable to this one...

Uruguay was a World Cup champion in 1930. It's not like the nation had zero experience in football and no titles to celebrate, unlike North Korea and the United States.

But I get your point. For sure, a top 5 surprising defeat, alongside the USA and North Korea ones, and both the Maracanazo and the 7 x 1.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas.
