Winning the WC bigger than the 1980 Miracle???
Bigger deal? Yes. Bigger upset? No.
The American national soccer team is a top 10-15 team in the world, is made up of entirely professional players including multiple high level Euro league players and we have a massive home field advantage. The US Men's hockey team was a bunch of college players, many of whom had very trivial professional careers, beating the greatest professional hockey team in history to that point.
It's almost unfathomable to this day that the hockey team pulled that off.
