I blame the ball, the altitude, the referees, the injuries, those damn horns, the crime rate, the terrorists that shot up the togo team bus, fan stampedes and non-full capacity attendances for the poor opening matches... It's never the players' fault.
FIFA should just laugh off this blip and reboot the opening day. "Haha, gotcha! We assure you that the WC is a showcase of top quality football"
