After Holland stunned world champions Spain in their opening Group B clash, winning 5-1, Sport360 look at 10 of the biggest shocks in World Cup finals:
United States 1 England 0, Brazil 1950
North Korea 1 Italy 0, England 1966
Arguably the most surprising World Cup scoreline ever. Italy were expected to thump the Asian minnows but, against all the odds, the Koreans' defence held firm against the might of the Europeans. The now legendary Pak Doo Ik was on hand to score a scarcely believable winner.
Scotland 3 Holland 2, Argentina 1978
Holland's celebrated 'total football' side were in their prime, brimming with confidence and fully expected to dish out a real lesson to the Scots. However, Archie Gemmill had other ideas and fired a superb brace, and with Kenny Dalglish also popping up to score, the Dutch were defeated.
Cameroon 1 Argentina 0, Italy 1990
Cameroon, reduced to nine men after a double sending-off, produced another strong candidate for the biggest-ever World Cup shock against the reigning champions. In only Cameroon's second appearance in the finals, they stunned the South Americans and stole the hearts of supporters when Omam Biyik headed home the winner.
Costa Rica 1 Scotland 0, Italy 1990
Another of the catalogue of embarrassing results in Scotland's history. Juan Cayasso condemned the Scots to one of their darkest days with the only goal. Scotland turned in a dreadful performance and set the wheels in motion for another first round exit.
Republic of Ireland 1 Italy 0, USA 1994
Even Ireland's travelling army could surely not have believed their side would defeat the mighty Italy. But Jack Charlton's men did exactly that, thanks to Ray Houghton's brilliant 25-yard strike that screamed into the net. The Irish defence kept the Italian strikeforce at bay as Charlton's men sent their supporters into ecstasy.
France 0 Senegal 1, Japan and South Korea 2002
The World and European champions were left stunned in their opening game of the tournament through a goal from El Hadji Diouf. France went close and hit the woodwork twice, but the African nation held on for victory.
USA 3 Portugal 2, Japan and South Korea 2002
America surged into an incredible 3-0 lead after only half-an-hour thanks to goals from John O'Brien, an own goal from Jorge Costa, and Brian McBride. Beto scored just before the interval to give the fancied Europeans hope and Jeff Agoos' second-half own goal set American nerves jangling – but they hung on for a famous victory.
Italy 1 South Korea 2, Japan and South Korea 2002
Ahn Jung -hwan, who missed a first-half penalty, was the Korean hero with the dramatic winner three minutes from the end of extra-time in this second round match. In an extraordinary encounter, Seol Ki Hyeon scored in the 88th minute to cancel out Christian Vieri's opener. Italy striker Francesco Totti was also dismissed in extra-time.
Spain 0 Switzerland 1, South Africa 2010
Switzerland stunned European champions Spain with a narrow win in the teams' Group H opener in Durban. Gelson Fernandes got the only goal in the 52nd minute, before Spain's Xabi Alonso was denied by the crossbar in the 71st minute. Spain wasted a hatful of other chances – and the Swiss held on.
