July 14, 2014

What was your biggest surprise in this year’s World Cup?

With the 2014 FIFA World Cup ending on Sunday, persons globally are either celebrating their favourite team’s victories or feeling disappointed. Some have even jumped ship from a losing team, and within the period of less than a month, have become another team’s biggest fan.

It would be an understatement to say that this year’s staging of the global competition was full of surprises. Records were broken, champions were defeated and underdogs made their claim to fame.

And so Teenage would like to know : What was your biggest surprise in this year’s World Cup?

Jaques JACKSON

To see my favourite side #teamBrazil leaving the World Cup in such a horrible defeat to Germany. I think this was as a result of the changes made to the starting 11 due to Neymar’s injury and the suspension of our captain Thiago Silva, who plays a key role in our defence. Even with these changes, I did not expect the match to end the way it did. That was totally unpredictable.

Marcene BELL

It would definitely be the 7-1 in favour of Germany against Brazil. I expected a loss, but seven goals? Then to had insult to injury, Argentina beat Netherlands! Come on, Argentina is just Messi! Then the match with Costa Rica and Netherlands — that match was fit to be a final.

Kevin WALTERS

My most surprising moment was when Costa Rica beat Uruguay. I didn’t expect them to even score a goal, so I was completely shocked when they actually won.

Twanya BURTON

My most surprising moment in this year’s World Cup was when Germany defeated Brazil 7-1. I knew that Germany would have come out the victors but I was completely taken aback by the huge goal difference

Amoi SPENCE

My most surprising World Cup moment would have to be between Germany’s massacre of my Brazilian team and the Netherlands choking against Argentina in the semi-finals. The fact that three CONCACAF teams made it out of the group stage was a pleasant surprise.
