WORLD CUP UPSET: Switzerland upset tournament favorite Spain 1-0 Wednesday in World Cup soccer, which wasn’t good news to Lakers center Pau Gasol of Barcelona.

The loss ended Spain’s run of 12 straight wins and handed the Spanish just their second loss in 50 games.

“I woke up, I couldn’t sleep anymore, it’s 8:30, turned the game on, and the next thing I know we were down 1-0 and struggling and scrambling to score a goal,” Gasol said.

“Not the way that we expected our team to start a championship, of course, and it puts them in a position where they have to win probably two games they have left against Honduras and Chile.”

Kobe Bryant is a huge soccer fan, having played while growing up in Italy. But he said he hasn’t watched any World Cup games yet.
