Yes, I believe lack of interest is a problem. However, I think demographics and location are bigger contributors because they limit the "tourist fans". Australia / NZ costly to get to and in country travel is pretty significant as well. Tend to forget how big those islands are and with the distances between venues I would think spectators would pick a venue and not "hop" to see other Groups. So I think FIFA would have had to consider how many Aussies and Kiwis would want to watch other countries teams and use that number as an attendance base. I guess I just don't understand why they are treating this like its a big deal. Had to see it coming.
