“The most surprising World Cup win ever according to Gracenote was USA’s victory over England in 1950 with a 9.5% chance of victory for the US team but Saudi Arabia’s chance of victory today was estimated at 8.7% so takes over at number one,” it said in a statement.
This is a World Cup victory that will go down in history as arguably the greatest upset in the history of the event and an iconic moment for Saudi Arabian sports. On the other end of the spectrum, this is one of the most devastating losses for Argentina, who succumbed to Saudi Arabia in disbelief and exhaustion after the upset in what could be Messi’s last World Cup.
Argentina will look to redeem themselves against Mexico on Saturday while Saudi Arabia will look to carry the momentum of an impressive upset against Poland on Saturday.
Yep, we have one too
