The teams that are ranked 61st, 67th and 85th in FI­FA’s world rank­ings all were heavy un­der­dogs in their first match­es at the World Cup.

They all played Mon­day. None of them won. None of them lost, ei­ther.

Through five days and 16 match­es of soc­cer’s biggest ex­trav­a­gan­za ever, the un­der­dogs are prov­ing to be very tough to beat. All four match­es on Mon­day end­ed in ties — the most in a sin­gle day of men’s World Cup play since 1958 — and all of them tech­ni­cal­ly could be con­sid­ered up­sets as well.
