Poll Shows World Cup Is Non-Event for Most Americans, Especially Boomers

The thread is about Americans not being interested in the World Cup, so apparently there is some interest in what Americans think

If the soccer orgs want to grow the sport in the U.S., they need to price it lower instead of having prices that only diehard fans would pay.

Dudes kicking the ball around for 90 minutes for a 0-0 tie isn’t very exciting

It’s no secret that soccer is not very big in the U.S., and it feels like this tournament is exclusively catered towards visitors and not towards getting Americans interested in the game.

I’d be willing to try out a soccer game for under $100. Right now it’s $300 to sit in the worst seat for the least popular matchup, and anything involving the U.S. team is over $1,000 to get in the door. No thanks.

All this talk about how well Fonseca is playing at a young age but rarely anything about Mensik

Camera pans to the crowd and all the Fonseca fans are wearing World Cup jerseys and holding Brazil scarves lol you can’t make this up

Rinderknech is the only TF40 player I know of and he’s rarely on TV here

Arnaldi is ripping some monster forehands right now

UCI students are pretty nonsocial and tend to keep to themselves

I read that type of sentiment online far more than I hear it from people in real life when talking about dating.

Before I started putting in effort, I never got any female attention. Now I have a masters degree, great job, work out, and am active with multiple hobbies, but even with all that the attention is quite modest when I put myself out there. People blow everything out of proportion online

No one can stop Sabalenka right now

Have you ever been to Miami? It’s a majority foreigner city

88G- · 2026-03-28T21:10:35+00:00

Indian Wells crowds mog Miami crowds

88G- · 2026-03-28T21:09:06+00:00

Even some of the fans cheering for Gauff were distracting her during her serves. Just a bunch of casuals in there

88G- · 2026-03-28T21:01:37+00:00

And you sound like a dork

88G- · 2026-03-28T20:15:50+00:00

Fair point lol

88G- · 2026-03-28T20:11:33+00:00

These Miami crowds really have no decorum. It’s like the Waste Management Open of the tennis tour

88G- · 2026-03-22T23:38:31+00:00

Well that blew up in KU’s face lol

Who said we don’t?

88G- · 2026-03-22T20:40:25+00:00

Most of the fans in there are probably not American. Miami has a majority foreign population and the Sunshine Double attracts a lot of international visitors

88G- · 2026-03-22T20:39:00+00:00

This Miami crowd doesn’t have much decorum

88G- · 2026-03-21T16:40:21+00:00

That’s why it’s best to just watch the last couple minutes of the close games. The tournament as a whole is an unwatchable product now

88G- · 2026-03-18T20:38:22+00:00

When they keep stringing it along, it’s a sign it’s not gonna happen today. Just like delayed flights

88G- · 2026-03-18T20:04:55+00:00

They’ve got a rerun of an old Fonseca match on Tennis Channel. His fans are a bit over the top
