No idea what this compares to here in the states but i have to imagine it is a pretty big deal to a lot of the world and especially to Pakistan

Yeah, I heard about that.  Ireland upsetting Pakistan (after tying Zimbabmwe) was a feel-good story, but this... ::uhoh::

And the fact that the Irish team did it on St. Patrick's day made it even more special.

As far as upsets go, this sad incident reminds me of the infamous USA-Colombia match during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where a Colombian player was gunned down after the match.
