Saudi Arabia 2 Argentina 1 

The one that started it all and make no mistake, this was a shock for the ages. Argentina came in among the top two or three favourites to win it all and by halftime had scored one and had four others disallowed. But in four chaotic minutes, the game had been turned on its head, they were behind and would never recover. The Saudis had one World Cup to their name since 1994 and then knocked off Lionel Messi. It sent the tournament off its axis on day three and we’ve been wobbling along since. Shock rating: 9/10
