"Oh dear. I'm not sure what "Controversy at the World Cup" they're talking about (there's so many to choose from!) -- perhaps it's that host nation South Africa has suddenly shape-shifted to look exactly like South America. Or that South America is now infringing on the death grip FIFA has on the World Cup brand, which will soon result in the entire continent being forced to serve as Sepp Blatter's personal playhouse.

Surely this was just an honest mistake, but hopefully they'll get that graphic fixed before their next attempt to hop on the World Cup bandwagon."
