On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.

* Game 6, Round 7 - Sports - Sports Upsets
1. In *what year* did the "Miracle on Ice" hockey game take place,
when a team of American college players defeated the Soviet
Union's Red Army team?
2. Many regard James Buster Douglas's knockout of the undefeated,
undisputed heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, as the greatest
upset in boxing history. In what city the Tyson-Douglas fight
take place?
3. One of the greatest upsets in soccer was a UEFA champions
league match in 2019, in which Liverpool needed to score at
least 4 goals to win the two-game match. The task seemed
insurmountable because Liverpool was missing three of their
top scorers, and because the great Lionel Messi was on the
opposing team. Miraculously, Liverpool did prevail. What team
was their opponent in that game?
5. The 2015-16 English Premier League champions were a team that
had not won a title in 132 years. At the beginning of that
season, their odds of winning the title that year were posted
at 5,000:1. But they beat top teams like Manchester City,
Manchester United, and Liverpool. Who were the Premier League
champions in 2016?
