Soccer is important throughout the world.

Soccer is not important in the U.S. If watching the World Cup became impossible, there would be no major disruptions, except in some Latino neighborhoods. The importance of the U.S. worldwide is greater than its population. If the U.K., France, Spain and Germany dropped soccer spontaneously, that would be smaller than the U.S. population, but few would claim it as the worldwide sport, even if it became more popular in Asian nations to make up for the loss.

Yet there would be riots throughout the world, while the rest of the world wouldn't care if the Super Bowl got canceled.
