US soccer will never win anything until they get inner city kids to play the game. It has been proven for years in basketball and football. Same can be said in the Dominican Republic about baseball. Too much entitlement. You mean to tell me Belgium has better resources than Americans? GTFO.

 no one cares about US Soccer
How many dozens will be watching the qualifiers for 2030? Soccer goes back on the shelf behind the curling brushes and stones in the garage until the next WC.

No he isn't. People don't care about soccer. People do care about US Soccer. 90% of that audience will not likely watch another soccer game until 2030 (except maybe some that watch the Gold Cup
We are going to find out in about 12 days how many people watch the World Cup Final.

how much their press lied to them about America. They discovered how great our country is 


Sounds like you've listened to too much fake right wing press. People in other countries love the US by and large.

An estimated 42 million people watched the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) Round of 16 match against Belgium across combined English and Spanish-language broadcasts
Total viewers when combined with Telemundo and Peacock. Equal to an NFL divisional playoff game but also one of the highest viewed sporting events in US history when you exclude the NFL.

No they don't but they don't have kids playing Football, Baseball, and far less playing Basketball than we do. Winter sports and soccer are their big things.

Its only 2nd to the NFL in views in this country.


Ligue MX is very popular in the US.

FOX Sports brings home 30M viewers for Belgium-USMNT - the most-watched soccer telecast in U.S. history.


That's incorrect, the numbers officially came out last night.

Monday's USA-Belgium game at the World Cup did record-breaking TV ratings for a soccer game in the United States.

Or so we thought. It turns out that a game played a day earlier and not involving USA soccer drew more U.S. eyeballs.

The ratings for Mexico-England played in Mexico City on Sunday were revealed on Wednesday. Per Fox Sports, England's dramatic 3-2 win drew 21,742,000 viewers on its network. Combined with 23.1 million U.S. viewers on Telemundo, that adds up to roughly 44.8 million viewers.
