John Green loves his soccer (or football) and he wants to test your knowledge of the greatest sport that has ever existed.
Hi there. You're watching the World Cup edition of Truth or Fail, YouTube's only game show. And I am watching Spain play Switzerland. Sorry, but I've watched every single World Cup match since 1994 and I am not going to let this edition of Truth or Fail break my streak. Here's how the game works: I'm gonna tell you two purported facts and you're either gonna click on the true one or you're gonna click on the wrong one and fail worse than England at a World Cup penalty shootout. Here's your first set of facts.

Fact one: The goal the United States scored against England in the so called 'Miracle on Grass' in the 1950 World Cup was in fact not scored by an American but by a Haitian.

OR

Fact two: The term soccer is derived from the fact that early football players often played not in cleats but in their socks.
