I would. However, knowing their previous NT coach left the team for dead, the upset was not that much shocking. It's an upset nevertheless because Italy has incredible players.

Just going by country/world ranks or salaries, that was an upset. Both of us played normal, but I had an edge in tactics, gameshape, and more enthusiasm built up. Is that what you are looking for?

Second in the Great 8 Razorbacks smashed on the road by eighth place from the other side, the Muffin Men, in what should have been a Saturday Snoozefest.

This game is a classic case of underestimating an opponent. Started second stringers at several positions, and was punished severely for it. Tipton is a draftee, while Liting, Reiter, and Guedes aren't that far behind the starters skill wise, but enough to let this happen.

Muffin Men went on to finish that season 9-13. The team has never been higher than 4th place in their conference at the Division IV level.

If a team has HCA, better top 3 DMI, stronger depth, more effort, more stored Enth and the best tactics to attack the others weaknesses and hide his own, the lesser team has no chance and I doubt any team has overcome all that. Any team that can get 3 of those categories on its side has a chance and is seen as a good manager working with what he has and not really an upset.

All 8 of my wins in season 11 I consider upsets. I wasn't better than any of those teams but I put focus on those I thought I could win because I needed to.

In season 15 I started the cup with a ranking of 251 and put out 198, 93, 240, and 26, but again I managed my resources into those games.

His team that took the court (750k) was roughly 7 times mine (105k from memory).
Both same enthusiasm, i used alternate tactics to see how theyd go. Would love to see the game replayed with different tactics to see how it changed the outcome!
