Seeing as how Greece have become 2004 Euro champions, I think this topic becomes appropriate. Which other huge upsets come to mind for you?
For me, I always think of the 2002 Super Bowl, when the Pats defeated the Rams, shutting down what I would probably call the greatest offense I've ever seen. I loved New England that day, but have hated them ever since.
I think it was the 1994 NHL Playoffs, when San Jose knocked off Detroit in the first round, and that was pretty huge. Anaheim's run last year also applies.
The NBA Finals this year was probably the biggest upset in NBA history, especially considering how convincing the win was.
Also Birdstone, at 32-1 odds, beating Funny Side at 1-5 odds at the Belmont was huge. I'm no horse racing historian but I don't know if there's been a bigger upset than that. I'm pretty sure no horse was ever favored as heavily as Funny Side was.
Buster Douglas beating Tyson is the biggest boxing upset I can think of.
Those are the only major upsets that come to mind, but I'm sure there are hundreds more, especially considering I know very little about the history of soccer and rugby.
The biggest ever: 1980 US Olympic Hockey over Russia
Cincinnati over Oakland in the 1990 World Series (and a sweep, no less!!!)
Pistons over Lakers this year
Atlanta over Minnesota, 1999 NFC Championship. (The Vikings were 15-1 that year and seemingly unstoppable)
I'm sure i can think of some more

that was a horseshit game...those Commies did not beat us fair and square. they got three chances to score the winning basket at the buzzer
I believe it was 1976, just to clarify the year

Jesus, don't get me started on this one, if the Soviets didn't pull Tretiak after a semi subpar performance we wouldn't have to watch Kurt Russell make a fool of himself today.
