There is more than enough interest in the World Cup regardless of whether the US is there or not lol.
Uh...no.
Did Fox buy the rights to Europe's and South America's audience. If so, then yes.
In America, for most everyone...no USA...pretty much no care. It's been that way forever.
You won't see cool videos of people at the airport or in bars cheering on Ghana vs. Mexico hoping for a last minute goal.
Soccer is purely an "Olympic sport" in America...if you even know what I mean by that statement.

I like how people are pretending bars/pubs/etc. weren't completely slammed in 2014 throughout the tournament (including after the US got bounced). I actually think that the US drove some of that interest and it carried over, but the World Cup will still do massive numbers, especially for games with good times in the US.
Not to mention the fact that a huge swath of the country has loyalty to some non-US team.

Lol NBC and the Prem have done far more to popularize the sport in the US than the USMNT and MLS. There will be millions upon millions tuning in to see the players they watch every weekend.
Will it affect viewership? Sure. Are Fox in any way 'screwed'? Not a chance lol.
You guys are way to melodramatic
