Americans really don't understand soccer like the rest of the world. It's just not our passion. But we did enjoy John Oliver explaining all the problems with this year's World Cup on Last Week Tonight.
We did our best to try and answer America's dumb questions about soccer on The Rehash and it was tough.
We've been following the tweets about the World Cup as closely as we can, within reason. We have a life! So we thought we'd gather up some of the tweets that perfectly encapsulate how most Americans feel about soccer, ahem, futbol.
World Cup Update: Still boring.
