What’s funny is that the most attended WC was the 1994 one in the US.
I guarantee, if the US makes the Finals, it will get Super Bowl-like ratings.
Its not going to happen. If the US makes it to the consolation game that would be a good showing.
The upside is the World Cup will be played during the fall and winter in South America so it should be a pleasant experience for the players.
Dream on.

In this country?
No.
I actually grew up playing soccer...not on an organized team, but in pick up games. The person who was instrumental in bringing soccer to Alabama was a neighbor:

and we learned the game before our friends had even heard of it.
My brother even went on to college on a soccer scholarship....as did two of the other kids I played with. One of them went on to play in the USISL.
So I am familiar with the game.
But no...it will not get Superbowl ratings in this country.
Pound for pound soccer threads bring out the ignorance like no other topic.
“I guarantee, if the US makes the Finals, it will get Super Bowl-like ratings.”
You misspelled supper bowl.

No way the US gets to the finals. We will be very lucky to get out of our group—the group of death with Germany, Portugal, and Ghana.
