Brian tries to contain his glee as he unfolds the story of the greatest upset in World Cup history: the United States&#039; 1-0 win over a massively favored England in 1950. We&#039;ll talk about goalkeepers who drive hearses, midfielders who wear boxing gloves on the pitch, and the Haitian accounting student who scored perhaps the most shocking goal of all time.
