Brazil's draw with Switzerland Sunday was not the biggest shock of the day. Germany's loss to Mexico was by far the top upset of the tournament.

Brazil was still the favorite to win the 2018 FIFA World Cup at 4/1 odds with little variation across the board.
Due to the draw, Serbia currently leads in Group E following their earlier victory over Costa Rica.
For Brazil, this was a disappointing start to the World Cup, especially being that Switzerland has long 100/1 odds of winning it all.
Philippe Coutinho in his World Cup debut provided Brazil the lead in the 20th minute. Steven Zuber then headed in the equalizer in the 50th. Mexican referee Cesar Ramos dismissed complaints that Zuber had shoved defender Miranda before getting to the corner from Xherdan Shaqiri.
"I was pushed out of the way. There is video of what happened and the referee could have seen it. But it didn't happen," Miranda said. "We got a draw but this is only the beginning for us. We knew this game wasn't going to be easy."
