Antonio Camacho put it simply: "Anybody can beat anybody." And this may be the best thing that could have happened to this World Cup and the ones to come.

"This is a competition," he told his students. "What you see here is like a box score in the sports section." The school had a sorry record for the third year in a row, ranking in the bottom 20% in the state. But Camacho now has a new playbook.
