There's a difference between people checking in on the World Cup and becoming soccer fans. For example, every four years during the Olympics, "sports" such as curling, 100 meter dash, swimming, etc. are televised and Americans watch. I doubt 99% of them ever search the TV channels in between Olympics looking to watch those "sports".

Heck, look at how many non-fans of college basketball, check in and watch March Madness. Its the event, not the sport, just like the World Cup.
