The fact neither of the Group L games in Toronto will feature England is insane to me. You have a commonwealth host, set to host England's group, but England will not play a game in Canada.

Also drives me insane the Netherlands will only play in the southern US... ##FIFAWorldCup

Comms folks, give me some insight:
Why are so many organizations providing their NRs in PDF form instead of in the email body?

Also, can you please stop doing that?
