Except for the ones mentioned here earlier today, these matches are also listed as the biggest surprises all-time.

 

1954 WC Final: vs 3:2 (Hungary earlier won against Germany 8:3 in the group and lead the final 2:0 after just 8 minutes)

1974 WC: vs 1:0 (the only all-German match in the WC history... West Germany took the title later on)

1990 WC: vs 1:0 (Cameroon defeated the defending champions in the opener despite getting 2 (!!) red cards)

I would add - from 2010 as well among upsets, because such thing can happen once in a millenium, you know

@dcro West Germany wanted to avoid Brazil in the SF group and basically lost to East Germany on purpose in 1974.

There's Slovakia beating Italy at the World Cup, and there's North freaking Macedonia keeping Italy out of the World Cup altogether....

When was the last time two back-to-back matches at WC ended with 0:0. Surely never?

1990 World Cup comes to mind - vs and vs in Group F.

2010 World Cup

 

 vs  in the afternoon and  vs  at night (even if it was the last day of the group stage, therefore there were 2 other matches at the same time both in the afternoon and at night, but still it's double 0-0 in 2 consecutive time slots of the same day).
