The World Cup kicks off on June 12th and, while soccer is the most popular sport around the world, it's still struggling to find an audience in the States.

Case in point: I gave my coworkers a list of names and asked them whether or not the person was a player for the US Men's National Soccer Team or a dude I went to high school with.

Needless to say, the majority of them didn't do very well, which you can see in the video above.

They were saved by Joey Dee, Brand Manager for Hot 97.5, who knows more about soccer than anyone really should.

Big thanks to my buddies from high school, Matt, Warren, Justin, James, and Rob, for letting me use their Facebook pictures for this bit. It worked out perfectly.
