Some people claim that there's a woman to blame...

So there's this football match going on, with lots of countries playing, and apparently it's pretty important. So people get understandably upset when "their" team loses, or lets in an easy goal, or whatever. And the natural human tendency is to assign blame, to determine whose "fault" it is that that goal went in the net.

And apparently, in the case of England vs America on Monday, it's a woman's fault. It seems that the English goalkeeper was so upset about his recent breakup with his girlfriend, that he just couldn't keep his mind on the game. Obviously. It can't be his fault, he couldn't possibly have taken his eye off the ball for a split second, or it couldn't possibly have taken a funny turn, or hey, the shooter couldn't just have beat him, fair and square. Nope, it has to be the fault of a woman.

She probably has never played professional football in her life, and she certainly wasn't on the field at the time. And still, it's all her fault that that little tiny ball went in that big giant net that day.

Obviously.
