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.

By 2022 we'll probably have raw sewage and chickens running down the streets of our major cities too.

And the economy is seriously hurting in all “57” States.

Looks like the World Cup Officials, like the Massachusetts
