In your opinion, what are some of the greatest giant-killings in football? I’d be much more interested in any answers that don’t revolve around the FA Cup!

    Japan beating Spain and Germany in WC 2022. Porto wining UCL and Inter beating Bayern Munich in 2010 UCL final.

      1. It was South Korea
      2. They didn’t beat Germany. Only Italy and Spain.
      3. Inter beating Bayern is hardly a giant-killing. Inter had an amazing squad and won the treble that season.

        Not just that, Bayern barely made it out of the group stage, and only got past Fiorentina on round of 16 thanks to some of the worst refereeing errors ever seen.

        lol you’re thinking of World Cup 2002.

        In the 2022 World Cup Japan did beat Spain and Germany.
