Many Surprises in this week's international fixtures

Many bets will have been lost this week due to the unpredictable results. Disappointing performances by both the world champion, Spain, and the runner-up, The Netherlands, as they could only pull up a draw against Mexico and Ukraine respectively. Some new faces also appeared as Brazil, Argentina and France, among others, have tried out new managers. Good results for Brazil and Argentina as they both managed a win against USA and Ireland but it seems as though France can not come out of their crisis losing their match to Norway. It seems morale within the French team is low as they started leading the match but then quickly lost it as Norway's Huseklepp scored 2 goals to crush new Laurent Blanc's "Les Bleus". Spain almost came to near defeat if it weren't for a master pass by Xavi and a precise placement of the ball by Silva. Spain still holds their record for not losing a friendly match under the management of Vicente Del Bosque. I think the reason for these surprises were the players's desire to go back to training with their clubs. What do you think?
