Deedy(@deedydas):Argentina beat 1 in 116,000 odds to comeback against Egypt and England to reach the World Cup final. I analyzed ~100,000 games to see just how miraculous it was. Of 37,013 one goal deficits at 85', only 282 (0.76%) have been overturned, and only twice in World Cups. This is 8 days after the 0.11% chance of coming back from a two goal deficit at 79' against Egypt. We've never seen a run quite like it in World Cup history.
