Even when the economy was fine, you would see games with crappy attendance.
These are some 2012-13 attendance numbers (I know, the Eurozone was fricked that year).
Germany: 42K
EPL: 36K
Spain: 30K
Mexico: 25K
Italy: 25K
Argentina: 19K
Dutch: 19K
France: 19K
MLS: 19K
Japan: 17K
Brazil: 15K
Turkey: 12K
Russia: 12K
Belgium: 12K
That's really not a fair comparison because in most countries they have way more teams per capita than we do in the US. London, for example, has like 8 "major" teams and a ton more minor teams. And that's just soccer, nevermind cricket or rugby.

Are you serious? Have you ever watched a real vs Barcelona game? Liverpool vs Man U? Arsenal vs Chelsea? Those games are filled to the brink and have unbelievable intense atmospheres. Obviously many soccer games might be half full and many of their stadiums are far smaller than some big name college football stadiums though. Barcelona has 98,000ish and a couple other big teams hold in the range of 60-80, but most good but not great teams range around 40-60some.
