Jimmy Kimmel will never miss an opportunity to turn a worldwide event into a prank. So of course, the World Cup has become the subject for his latest "Lie Witness News" gag.

The comedian "interviewed" alleged soccer fans about USMNT's run in the World Cup thus far, mainly probing them about Landon Donovan's performance. The only problem? Donovan was cut before any matches even began.

But many had no problem praising Donovan for his "tricycle kicks" and "off-the-butt goals against Saskatchewan."

On the plus side, though, it looks like Luis Suarez is off the hook for his biting incident -- these folks think it was all Donovan. It's always Donovan.
