The FIFA World Cup has kicked off, and American soccer fans are turning out in record-breaking numbers to support their team. Despite the U.S. men’s national team not being a favorite to win the tournament, fans are flocking to watch the games, both at home and in person. The team’s opening match against Wales drew a massive audience, with millions watching on television and thousands attending the game in person. The enthusiasm is not limited to the men’s team, as the U.S. women’s national team has also been drawing large crowds and garnering significant attention. The surge in interest in the World Cup is a testament to the growing popularity of soccer in the United States, where the sport has traditionally lagged behind American football, baseball, and basketball. The success of the U.S. teams in recent years, combined with the increasing availability of soccer on television and online, has helped to fuel the growth of the sport. As the tournament progresses, it is likely that American fans will continue to show their support, cheering on their teams and enjoying the excitement of the World Cup.
