Mpache Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Here is my opinion on each countries worst ever result. Brazil The 7-1 loss vs Germany comes to mind, but a dark horse for that is their 1982 loss against Italy. Since then, Brazil was never the same. Argentina 0-5 vs Colombia, easy one that. England 1-0 vs USA in 1950 or the 2-1 loss vs Iceland I reckon. Mexico 0-7 vs Chile France Losing to Senegal in 2002 maybe? Italy 1966 vs North Korea. Spain I'm thinking 2002 vs South Korea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 For England, the 2-1 loss to Iceland was the lowest and most embarrassed I've been as a fan. Luckily, I was on a cruise ship at the time so went to the bar afterward and got shitfaced so not all bad. It didn't really bother me, but back in 2003 England hosted a friendly against Australia and lost 3-1. It caused uproar at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 For Germany definitely the 2018 world cup. Way worse than England 5-1 to qualify to a world cup where Germany ended up out performing England anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Profesor Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Well... It´s the 7-1 though I´d argue that the Maracanazo was more traumatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Peru's worst result in my opinion is the 1961 loss against Colombia. 1962 World Cup was going to be hosted in Chile, who reserved us a spot in Arica, and we had to play vs a team of amateurs (Colombia wasn't anything back in the 1960's) and with our decent side we found a way to lose it. Brazil 7-0 in the 1997 Copa was also tragic but we were with a B team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It marked the defeat of the attacking football proposed by Telê Santana and a generation of defense-oriented coaches prevailed in brazilian football after it. But the Maracanazo was the worst of defeat of all, if you consider the impact it had not only in brazilian but also in brazilian society and in the lifes of the players involved, especially Barbosa, who was humiliated and ostracized his entire life because of his performance against Uruguay. Quote He once told a documentary that the saddest moment of his life wasn’t that fateful day at the Maracana, but had actually come 20 years later. Barbosa said that he found himself at the local market when he witnessed a mother point at him and tell her child: “Look at him, son. He is the man that made all of Brazil cry.” Moacir Barbosa: The goalkeeper who was condemned for life (theversed.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moacir Barbosa: The goalkeeper who was condemned for life (theversed.com) Now that you mention it, you're right. Maracanazo was #1. My parents told me back then Brazilians committed suicide over certain losses and how these players couldn't live their lives anymore. It was a different society to now. I do think the 1982 loss vs Italy did a lot more long term damage to Brazilian football than the 7-1 could ever do. That was more of a wake up call if anything. The 2002 WC was won by sheer quality rather than actual philosophy, and 1994 was similar but it was also helped by the fact Europeans don't tend to do well in World Cups hosted over in the America's.
