With the problems our country has today, who really cares about this stuff. Forget the soccer games and concentrate on the problems of our country.

Abortion - OK. Trillion dollar deficits - OK. Surrendering in Afghanistan and Iraq - OK. But losing the World Cup is wrong?

Not big in the USA. Awarding the Superbowl to Russia would be wrong.

And the economy is seriously hurting in all “57” States.
Looks like the World Cup Officials, like the Massachusetts
Police, acting incorrectly!! Perhaps a beer summit us in the making with W C Officials?
