The BIGGEST UNDERDOG of Each World Cup (1994 - 2022)

[@etiennedeleage6804]

Crazy how every time Croatia made it past the group stage they always finished top 3 and France always placed top 2 with them being right behind them

[@johnsalazar2581]

Another thing too is that whenever Croatia makes it out of the group stage they always lose to the eventual champions. France in the semis in 1998, lost 2-1 and in the 2018 final lost 4-2 and Argentina in the 2022 semis lost 3-0. They always encounter Argentina too. 1998 group stage, lost 1-0. 2018 group stage, won 3-0 and 2022 semifinals, lost 3-0. How strange is that??

[@iamnotmrt5063]

@johnsalazar2581 even stranger is how pften Argentina are in a group with Nigeria. It's happened in 1994, 2002, 2010, 2014 and 2018. 1998 is the only time Nigeria qualified for a World Cup and didn't play Argentina in the groups

[@johnsalazar2581]

@@iamnotmrt5063 True. But Nigeria always seems to be unlucky to get the toughest South American opposition in the group stages. 1994, 2002, 2010, 2014, 2018 - Argentina, 1998 - Paraguay. On all occasions they lost. All of their World Cup wins have come against European opposition. Bulgaria and Greece 1994, Spain and Bulgaria 1998, Bosnia 2014 and Iceland 2018.

South Korea had a bit of help from officials. Senegal reached the quarters, but miss out despite defeating France 2006- Ukraine. A world cup where the big boys were at their very best- Spain and Netherlands went out in the last 16 because they played France & Portugal 2010- Uruguay ahead of Paraguay & Ghana. New Zealand deserve a shout for never losing and only one top division player with Ryan Nelsen. Uruguay reached the semis, but they were not popular for what Suarez did. This is the hardest by a mile 2014- Costa Rica. What a story 2018- Russia. Croatia reached the final, but their line-up was stacked. Belgium also had a superstar team 2022- Australia.

The fact is Suarez cheated and that made the difference between Ghana going to the semi-finals and not going to the semi-finals. If he didn't cheat, they would've scored the winning goal. Doesn't matter that they missed the penalty because there shouldn't have been any need for one in the first place.

[@ezraezra2928]

Turkey over South Korea for 2002 underdogs is still a fair decision. South Korea should not be in the semifinal because they cheated against Italy and Spain. Even better, either of Italy or Spain should have made through the Final against Brazil, given their squad depths of the team at the time. Uruguay shouldn't be in the semifinal of 2010 because, well, they only prevailed thanks to Luis Suarez' handball against Ghana. Ghana should really deserved 4th place, as did the Paraguay, who went all the way to the quarterfinal, narrowly losing to the champions Spain. Last, but not least, you can also include Russia in 2018, who went all the way to the quarter final. They knocked 2010 champions Spain on penalties in the Round of 16. They should really deserved to face England in the semifinal with even better performance vs Croatia in the quarter final.

But if you understand football more, Croatia 2018.is not that big surprise. Subašić(Monaco) Strinić(Milan)-Lovren(Liverpool)-Vida(Dynamo Kyev)-Vrsaljko(Atletico Madrid) Rakitić(Barcelona)-Modrić(Real Madrid)-Brozović(Inter) Perišić(Inter)-Mandžukić(Juventus)-Rebić(Fiorentina/E.Frankfurt) Also some substitutions like: Kovačić(Real Madrid), Badelj(Fiorentina), N.Kalinić(Milan), Kramarić(Hoffenheim), Pjaca(Schalke) etc., and every that player play very important role in their clubs then. No suprise for me here, in Croatia we was expecting big result then! Prove for that is Quatar 2022., very similar team with some new great players(some old players gone) we repeat big result again, and again is not that big surprise. Expect Croatia always in the game for big result in next 2 world cups for sure, after that I can't tell from now.

I think Greece's 2004 campaign was more surpising than most of these.. European teams were at their peak back then!

The biggest underdog isn’t in world cup, it’s in uefa euro cup, denmark didn’t qualify for euros even, but later they won it

Bit of patriotism talking through me but still going to say it. Poland was hugeeee underdog in 1974, earlier in WC only once, and on the pitch, practically the best team losing only when faced a strong athelticaly team in a MUDDY weather, which massivelly impacted the game, negatively for us. Wins like 4-1 with Cruyffs prime netherlands just a year after WC say a lot about the quality of this team.
