June 17 - Saturday's World Cup soccer results saw the biggest betting upset to date as Ghana defeated the Czech Republic 2-0, and later against all odds the USA held on for a 1-1 draw against Italy.
Mycapper.com, which gives away free World Cup picks as well as premium picks made the UNDER for total goals in the Italy/USA game their top pick of the day, and it won with room to spare. It looked like it would be impossible for the USA's anemic and frankly non-existent strikers to score here and so it proved; only a freak own-goal by Italy put the Americans on the scoreboard, and in a game marred by shocking decisions by the ref they held on for a draw.
Earlier Ghana played incredibly well to destroy the Czechs in a game they could have won 5-0 if not for superb goalkeeping by Cech.
This game was a huge World Cup betting upset, and the sportsbooks were smiling as the African nation stunned the world.
In the first game of the day Portugal breezed past Iran 2-0 to qualify for the second round.
