There's nothing better than a huge upset in sports.
Everyone loves (or at the very least can appreciate) an underdog rising to the challenge and overcoming the odds and on Sunday, we saw what could very well go down as the upset of the tournament.
The defending champions were in action on Day 4 of the World Cup as they started their quest to go back-to-back against Mexico, and while everyone thought Germany would come out on top, that didn't stop Mexico from doing the unimaginable.
A HISTORIC UPSET! #MEX BEATS #GER

Listen... Mexico should have actually scored alot more.. based on the german tactics...Germany made toooo many mistake... And their defenders were no where to be seen when they lost possession. Mexico should have took the opportunities.
