What I don't know about soccer - and in the particular the World Cup - is lots and lots and lots . . . [View all]

Would anyone be at all surprised if any number of calls by referees during the remaining World Cup matches went in favor of the US team, and against its opponents, no matter how flagrantly wrong or ridiculous those calls were?
Would anyone be at all surprised if a startlingly large number of mind-numbingly bad calls across all remaining games just happened to help the US win the World Cup?
It wouldn't surprise me one fucking little bit.
