World Cup referees learning English swear words
RUSTENBURG, South Africa -- The Brazilian referee and his assistants who will work the England-United States match at the World Cup have been studying English-language obscenities the players might use. Carlos Simon will referee Saturday's match, assisted by Roberto Braatz and Altemir Hausmann. They want to ensure players can't get away with abuse. Braatz says they aren't learning them in "11 different languages, but at least we have to know the swear words in English."
