In a famous match in 1950, the USA came up against England, one of the favorites to win the tournament. Many of the American players were from college teams. Surprisingly, the USA won 1-0. Other World Cup surprises were North Korea's win over Italy in 1966, and Cameroon's win over Argentina in 1990.(이너풰이머스매치인나이닌퓝티, 더유에스에이케임업어겐스트잉글런ㄷ, 원업더풰이버러츠투윈더 토너먼ㅌ.)

 

The 2002 FIFA World Cup stands out as probably one of the most surprising World Cup tournaments of all time. In the opening match, Senegal surprised everyone by beating France, the World Cup winner in 1998. South Korea, the co-host³ country that year with Japan, made it all the way to the final four, before finally losing to Germany. In the final game, Brazil ended up winning 2-0 against Germany. Brazil set a World Cup record by becoming the first team to win seven games in a row. And Brazil's most talented player, Ronaldo, scored eight goals in one tournament - more than any other player since 1970.(더투싸우즌앤투퓌파월드컵 스탠즈아웃애즈프라버블리 원업더모우슷서프라이징월드컵 토너먼츠어붤타임. 인디오프닝매치, 세니걸서프라이즈드에브리원 바이비딩프랜스, 더월드컵위너인나이닌나이니에잇. 싸우쓰커리어, 더코우호슷컨츄리대리어윗저팬, 메이딧올더웨이투더퐈이널포, 비포퐈이널리루징투저머니. 인더퐈이널게임, 브러질엔디덥위닝투투오어겐스트저머니. 브러질세더월드컵레컷 바이비커밍더풔슷팀 투윈세븐게임즈이너로우. 앤브러질즈모우슷탤런팃플레이어, 로널드<또는 호나우두>, 스콧에잇고울즈인원토너먼ㅌ - 모어댄에니어더플레이어 씬스나이닌세븐디.)
