There is more than enough interest in the World Cup regardless of whether the US is there or not lol.

Nobody cares about soccer in this country,

They should’ve known this beforehand.

The few that do watch will watch whether the crappy US team is in it or not.

They actually got a great deal due to FIFAs frick up. Pretty sure it didn't even go through the bid process.

Amongst the other myriad programming fails, their exiling of the Cleveland-NY series to FS1 for whatever hot garbage is on Fox is like ranch on my hot wings.

With no USA and the time difference with Russia they might have 10 people watching
