once in a while, a nearly perfect fact

4% of Englanders think England will win the World Cup, say YouGov. 46% of Americans think America will win, say Nielsens.*

*On US sports site ESPN. The first comment, with blissfully: This article is genius. So much truth in this. The Brits need to quit thinking they are amazing and the best at football. Cause' they aren't.

Oh, bless. I'm from the US and my little cousin wanted to watch because his grandfather said the US would win, but my uncle said, "No, son, I'll tell you what will happen--we're going to be creamed."

Maybe people are getting the World Cup confused with the World Series? America always wins the World Series. (The trick is only letting American teams play.)
