Top 10 Shocking Matches (of my lifetime): Part I of III
To say that the level of emotion surrounding a World Cup game is high would be an understatement. For starters, people care about their national teams to the point that it can be irrational. Players who lead their teams to glory become national heroes while disappointment is inevitably heaped upon a scapegoat or two (1998 David Beckham, I'm looking at you England fans). Combine this with the fact that the World Cup happens only once every 4 years, and hopes/anxieties/expectations have come to a boil by the time the tournament starts. It's part of what makes the World Cup great although it won't feel that way if your team is on the wrong end of a match like one of these 10 shockers.
