This one is killing me. In a country that uses RPI and the BCS rankings with complicated computer algorithms as well as just gut instinct of the powers that be to determine who "advances" into knockout play for our sports, we act like the soccer system is some insanely difficult puzzle with no logic to it. It's a beautiful example of ethnocentrism and myopia.
