The captain, asked at the press conference before the third match what scouts missed about him, answered with a single word: "Everything."

With days to go until the 2026 World Cup, the football world has returned to the biggest upsets that have gone down in the history of the organisation. In over a thousand World Cup matches played since 1930, the biggest teams of world football have from time to time been overthrown by small national teams. From the USA's 1-0 victory over England in 1950 to Saudi Arabia's historic victory over Argentina in 2022, these results have been the strongest examples that refute the football logic that the big team always wins. The matches on the list are ranked in terms of both magnitude and impact on the tournament.
