Jimmy Kimmel Exposes US Soccer’s Bandwagon World Cup Fans in ‘Lie Witness News’ (Video)

Jimmy Kimmel, who (very justifiably) has very little faith in the human race, proved that most American soccer fans are fake soccer fans with the latest edition of his patented “Lie Witness News,” by asking people on the street what they thought about Landon Donovan’s performance for the US Men’s team at the World Cup.
