Puevlo Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Every World Cup there is a surprise result, or a shock elimination. A minnow beating a giant or a favourite being knocked out of the group stages. Post what you think the biggest shock of this World Cup will be. I think Argentina might fail to qualify from their group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluedave Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Maybe France struggling. I don't think they'll win their group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djvandyke Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 One of the biggest will be Nigeria beating Argentina on 12 June. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Is France not getting out of their group even a surprise? North Korea will get a 0-0 draw against someone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynm Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 France will struggle, that is certain. Probably the biggest shock will be somebody like USA or Australia getting to the latter stages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoham Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 An African team getting to at least the quarter finals, beating someone good along the way. Some random midfielder will stand out and then be linked with 5/6 Premier League clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynm Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 A host of previously unknown players will be linked with top clubs from all over Europe and some of them will get their big move, flop, and end up in the lower leagues.

HD Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Won't be any major shocks. Usual suspects in the QFs, Brazil win like always. Does RSA making the second round count as a shock? That then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
