From all reports the US has traveled better than everyone else.

I am not sure the rest of the world would be ready for US nfl/college football mentality that would come with consistent international success.

If I had a choice between going to one world cup or going to every super bowl for life I'm taking the cup.

I mean the US is 300+ million people with 85% of those having the capacity to afford an international trip with years of advance notice. I'd expect there to be 25,000 Americans in a country easy to access from the US.

I think part of the difference is that we don't travel for club teams like the fans from Spain/Germany/England/Italy do.

We hosted the 1994 World Cup, and even though there were only 24 teams there, it still has the attendance record.

I want to know how those people from Ghana afforded to go to the World Cup. Seems like they had quite a few people in the crowd

Ghana's fans were amazing. It would have been insane if they had 20k there. Looked like they only has about 2,000 fans but they were raucous. Would love to see the US take our NFL fan mentality to the world. US fans were loud and proud but it was still not near the buzz you see at an NFL playoff or LSU Bama game.
