The tiny island of Guam is really shaking up the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
The football minnows historically have had a torrid time trying to make it to the World Cup.
Their campaign for the 2002 tournament ended with a 19-0 defeat to Iran and a 16-0 thrashing at the hands of Tajikistan. However, they appear to have fixed their curse for the 2018 qualifiers.
Their group opener this time around was a 1-0 win over Turkmenistan, which bosted their confidence for their next match against India, a country with a population roughly 7,500 times bigger than the football minnows.
However, despite a late goal from India causing a nervy finish, 174th ranked Guam managed to hold on to a 2-1 victory to see them become the unlikely early leaders of the qualifying group.
Not bad for a country with only 165,124 inhabitants.
