USA's team in 1950 was infinitely worse than Iceland today.
Not to mention that England's 1950 team was better than today's team. |

If you want to know how shocking England losing 1-0 to USA was in 1950,
When that result was printed in the news in England, people thought it was a typo and that England had won 10-0 or 10-1. |

Iceland have less players to chose from than the stae of Rhode Island, the smallest state in the US only 10k people to chose from and you say that is a bigger upset?

Please this was pathetic from England, this is one of the biggest upsets if not the biggest upset in Euro history, and possibly international football history.

yes, because the iceland has developed, strong players
the usa could have put out 14 year olds and they would have about equal skill to the team they actually put out |

So you're basing your entire argument on population?
In that case it's a major upset if Portugal beat India. |

If you're so shocked England lost this game you haven't been paying attention to the Euros
A "shock" or an "upset" is based on odds and expectations coming into a game
This is a great STORY, don't get it confused with a great upset |

10k people to chose from.
Only one regular name player in that squad
No one would ever expect this result please. The USA might have been horrid in the 50's but the fact of the matter is this team half their players have regular day jobs aside from football. Listen to the damn commentators and experts who know more about football than any of us. This is one of the biggest upsets in Football history.

"No one would ever expect this result please."
Except that several people were expecting this result based on how the two teams had played.
"The USA might have been horrid in the 50's but the fact of the matter is this team half their players have regular day jobs aside from football."
As did THE ENTIRE US TEAM FROM 1950. |

I knew england were bottlers but please dont be delusional. The odds before this game were by far in englands favour. They were HUGE favorites for this game.
