>forgetting about 18-1

also GSW 2016

2002 Bayer Leverkusen (aka Neverkusen) season

A historic 3-dimensional choke.

>Divegrass
Liverpool v. Milan (2005 Champions League final)

>Apehoop
Cavs beating the Warriorsin the NBA Finals after being down 3 games to 1 last year

I nominate Baseball be renamed to "Dirtypants"

Choke of the century

That's not a choke that's a rape

The hues never had anything to choke away

1999 and 2005 Champions League finals

Based Solskjær

1999 CL final

embarrassing, but not a choke. Brazil was BTFO from the start

not that

this

youtube.com/watch?v=E6oO8UWlk1Q

No highlights unfortunately but long story short, eternal choker Mervyn King was 9-2 up in this final (first to 11) and lost 11-10.

18-1 is still the biggest choke in football

18-1 is a bigger story but I think 28-3 is a bigger choke because it's almost impossible to lose that lead that late in a game

When has a team ever scored 18 goals in a football match?

1 strike away twice was a worse choke than the 2004 ALCS

>Britbongs actually follow """""professional""""" darts

top kek. thought it was just a meme lmao

Check some stats of Oceanian teams, it's ogre.
> Palau
> Micronesia
> Marshall Islands
That kind of teams.

>not referring to baseball as "luckswing"
>not referring to hockey as "icefight"

golden state 3-1 finals

mixed martial arts: cheick kongo vs pat barry, not the biggest but fucking funny

i do puzzles, are puzzles a sport too?

2016 NBA Finals as already mentioned in this thread. Team with the greatest record of all time and up 3 games to 1 and loses the series. Why are we having so many historic chokes recently?

youtube.com/watch?v=JebJ6RduIBQ

>not loving darts
youtube.com/watch?v=sHnBppccI0o

Try watching it sometime. Or even better go to a live even. It's the most electrifying sport out there.

youtube.com/watch?v=pGNZ3GqYrVY

Hockey: Sharks in 2014 and Bruins in 2010

It's elite lad.

youtube.com/watch?v=fx2mFr5bq5s

i'm just mad because i suck at it
i have a dart board lol

>up by 25 with 17 minutes left
>31 unanswered points
>12 yrd sack and holding penalty takes them out of game winning FG range

vs

>Pats lose to a team that almost beat them a month prior

Toyota at Le Mans.

Bundesliga 2002

Leverkusen 31 matches 66 points
Dortmund 31 matches 61 points

Dortmund still won the league with very dodgy referee decisions. Look at this penulty.

;_;

I always get shouted at for pointing out that it wasn't a choke. The Pats played well and lost a close game to a very good Giants team. If they went 15-1 in the regular season and lost that game in identical fashion it would never be called a choke. Hilarious that they lost the unbeaten season they wanted so bad but they didn't lose it because they choked.

This. 18-1 was tragedy: an all-time great team brought down in their hour of greatest triumph by the one team capable of beating them. 28-3 is farce.

This for Golf?

Boxing: Meldrick Taylor vs. Julio Cesar Chavez

...

There are too many to choose from in golf. That, Norman in the '96 Masters, Tiger Woods's entire career after 2008...

OLE-gend

Tennis

Context: Coria was odds on favourite and by far the best clay court player at the time. Gaudio was a complete nobody ranked 44th and went 5 sets in the first two rounds.

Gaudio became the first man ever to win a Grand Slam after losing the first set 6–0. He became the fifth-lowest-ranked player to win a Grand Slam, and the first man in the open era to win a Grand Slam having saved match points in the final. He never achieved anything of that level again and had some embarrassing results as a top 10 player from winning a grand slam such as youtube.com/watch?v=8sRhqJkrU9I

Coria then came up against Nadal in the next season and despite some valiant efforts like link related youtube.com/watch?v=RkOhsBWDQHY faded into complete obscurity

>Divegrass
99 CL Final for choking, but 94 CL final for not evening turning up.

>Apehoop
Magic in 95. Destroyed MJ Bulls, choked against Hakeems Rockets.

Wow. Refballed to the max

How many points was Liverpool ahead?

Team New Zealand in the 2013 Americas Cup.

One race. Of the last 8. Just one win. From 8-1. And the other team had already had 2 points deducted.

Lost 9-8.

Karl Marlone, John Stockton and the rest of the Utah Jazz team

GSW fucking up 3-1 lead

...

only 2 points, its memorable becuase of the slip but nowhere near the biggest choke

Van de Velde 99 open
Rory McIlroy at the masters

Golf is never over til the ball is in the last cup.

1999 CL final and 2012 CL would like a word with you

still cry my self to sleep at night because of this.

bro AC Milan were 3-0 up. 1999 and 2012 don't compare.

m8, Gerrard didn't slip in '05

What about College basketball? Gonzaga vs UCLA, Darius Washington, Chris Webber

Istambul
GS last year, unanimous back to back MV, etc
No idea
Gotta be any of the Argentina rivals in last year's Davis Cup, mainly Croatia, Italy and Britain

Both teams in the Plano East/John Tyler TXHSFB game.

>it was 3-0

2nd tier NASCAR race from 1994, the race was ending under caution but the leader forgot that he hadn't taken the checkered flag yet, and starting driving to victory lane.

>Tennis
Jana Novotna - 1993 Wimbledon final
Loses from 6-7, 6-4, 4-1 with game point.

This and the guy who mentioned vandevelde are great answers

F1

Canada 2011

Based Button

SK x Liquid

For niggerball it's 2016 nba finals. team that won most games in a season ever and comes back from 3-1 becomes only nba team to lose a 3-1 lead in the nba finals.

Also toyota 2016 le mans 24h, They go 300+ laps for an easy win but car implodes on the second to last lap after 23 and a half hours of racing

I'll leave a Tl;dr version

The Seahawks Packers NFCCG is still the largest choke in football. The Packers had a 99.9% of winning that game with 3 minutes left and their own awful mistakes are entirely why the Seahawks won that game. The Falcons had a lower chance of winning this SB (99.7) and they didn't really make any unreasonable mistakes besides the sack, the Patriots just played really well.

nice recap
