On Friday and Saturday, national teams that did not play official matches took the opportunity to test their strength in friendly games.
One of the most unexpected results was recorded in Saitama, where the Japanese national team, supported by 60,000 fans, defeated the Argentinians by the minimum score of 1-0.
The first "blue samurais" victory against the always powerful "La Albiceleste" team was achieved by Shinji Okazaki, who scored in the 19th minute of the match.
It is worth noting that in this match, former "Milan" team coach Alberto Zaccheroni made his debut as the coach of the Japanese national team.
The impressive victory was also achieved by the Uruguayans, who reached the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup, by crushing the Indonesian footballers 7-1 away.
Although the hosts scored first, Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani responded with hat-tricks, and another goal was added by Sebastian Eguren.
The match between Ukrainians and Canadians ended in a 2-2 draw.
