The Most Shocking Upset: Senegal vs. France (2002)
This match remains the pinnacle of World Cup David-versus-Goliath moments.
France arrived in South Korea as the reigning World and European champions, boasting a star-studded squad. Senegal, on the other hand, was making their tournament debut.
In one of the most heavily lopsided games on paper, Senegal completely outplayed Les Bleus. Papa Bouba Diop scored the only goal, sending shockwaves through the footballing world. France shockingly crashed out in the group stage without scoring a single goal
