World Cup 2010 Biggest Surprises: TOP-6

(FIFA ranking positions in brackets)

NUMBER 6

Match No. 21 Germany - Serbia 0:1 (chances: 9%)

Germany (6th) terribly disappointed and was too poor to beat Serbia (15th).

NUMBER 5

Match No. 57 Netherlands - Brazil 2:1 (knockout stage, chances: 17%) 

Quarterfinals, impressive Brazil (1st) stopped by efficient Dutchmen (4th).

NUMBER 4

Match No. 41 Slovakia - Italy 3:2 (chances: 7%)

The All-Or-Nothing Match for both teams. Italians (5th) beaten by underestimated Slovakia (34th)!

NUMBER 3

Match No. 23 England - Algeria 0:0 (chances: 4%)

Englishmen under big pressure (8th) didn't find a way to Africans' goal (30th)!

NUMBER 2

Match No. 28 Italy - New Zealand 1:1 (chances: 3%)

Even more shame for World Cup holders (5th). They were not able to beat Kiwis (78th), despite desperately needed a win!

NUMBER 1

Match No. 16 Spain - Switzerland 0:1 (chances: 2%)

European Champion (2nd) lost the first match against Switzerland (24th). Unbelievable!!
