The USMNT fan base is growing, but historically smaller.

So here’s an observation we can make to test this — ALL THE HOST COUNTRIES OF THIS WORLD CUP SOCCER HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED ( including our own team ).

When Scotland used to play at Wembley, it was almost 80% Scotland fans in the stands there.
