Re: Biggest upset ever?
How come could a WC or a CL final ever be an upset? You'd need the other team to be big underdogs for their win to be considered an upset and I don't think it's possible to have that big differences in quality in WC or CL finals.
Istanbul was a great comeback, but not an upset.
Also Porto drawing United at Old Trafford and progressing sure is a great achievement by the Portuguese club, but not something I'd call a huge upset.

Sure, finals are close matches by nature and there is rarely a huge gap in quality. But, being a final, there is always an upscale in the upset...
France winning 98 was a upset. FACT

USA > Portugal WC group stages? Come on, that's gotta be up there somewhere....
Portugal with their golden age led by Figo loses 3-2 to a US team that finished what, dead last at the previous WC?? No one could have predicted that.

Re: Biggest upset ever?
actually no... oddsmakers had france at #4 before wc. Talent was astounding on that team:
Barthez
Thuram-Blanc-Dessailly-Lizerazu
Petit-Zidane-Deschamps-Karembeu
Djorkaeff-Guivarch
bench of Henry, Trezeguet, Vieira, Pires, Candela, Dugarry, Diomede, Leboeuf, Lama, Charbonnier.
It wasn't an upset for them to win. Brazil was favored... but France didn't come out of nowhere.

Re: Biggest upset ever?
I dont think France winning it in 98 was an upset at all.
They might not have been favourites, but its not even close to the surprise that was Monaco, Porto and especially Greece and things like that.

Barca winning CL in 2006.
Some might be called flukes, ie Liverpool winning CL with a scrub manager and average team.

How can it be a fluke when Liverpool under Benitez were one of the best CL-teams?
