| CRAOTIA Does The Most Improbable Football Victory In Recent Years The team known as the 'Goat-Squad' has done the most improbable football victory in recent years, After 90 minutes of play the game was tied at 0-0 then in extra time Brazil scored a goal in the 105th. minute, Then Croatia matched it with a goal in the 115th. minute of play.  The game was a tie after extra minutes of play and then came the penalty kick phase to resolve the tie, Croatia won 4-2 defeating Brazil The scale of Brazil loosing to Croatia was so improbable that if you were a betting-person you would have had to put up $260US to win just $100US (the odds was somewhere in the vicinity of 2-to-5). According to Sportsbook, Croatia was the underdog +675. At these strange anomalies Belize's national basketball team may be able to defeat the U.S Allstar basketball team.
