The rest of the world should be glad though. You don't want a bunch of drunk, redneck Americans getting involved in your soccer riots anyways. (I just picture like a whole arena of drunk Nascar fans brawling with an arena full of Brazilian soccer hooligans and it's a funny image.)

FOOTBALL (not soccer!) is, apparently, huge in the US during high school and university. The main reason it doesn't go beyond that is because the TV networks dont have sufficient room to advertise as they do during sports like baseball, NFL etc. With the exception of the half time interval there are no lengthy stops in play.
As for the World Cup, COME ON IN-GER-LAND!!!!!
