World Cup or NCAA basketball tournament? Chaos rules with major upsets
The FIFA World Cup has been exciting so far. Saudi Arabia upset Argentina on Tuesday and Japan beat Germany on Wednesday. Both teams were losing for most of the game, but they managed to win. It's a sign of growth of soccer and the investment in the sport. It reminds us that the games themselves are great equalizers. For many players, the World Cups are worth a lot. They are the most important. Japan has sent many of its players to Europe. Of the 26 players on its roster, 19 play in Europe, with all but one playing in Bundesliga. The team won the last game at the FIFA Cup in 2010.
