It’s everywhere in the USA (coasts, anyway) and Canada. Flags on cars, matches on TV, etc. Both countries being in the tournament helps.

- grogenaut 4y agoBarely noticed in Seattle. If it wasn't for coworkers and the internet I would have missed it completely.

- pestatije 4y agoI wouldn't have known I didn't hear about it
- grogenaut 4y agoThe people who were talking about it are not in Seattle. Which is interesting as we're one of the host cities for the next one, you'd think there would be pre hype. If I was in a Seattle only bubble without friends from over seas or who immigrated yes I would not have seen or heard about the world cup. Maybe if it was on after 1pm here I'd have seen it in a bar, but nope watched a sun belt conference Duluth trading bowl game instead.
- baandang 4y agoPretty much irrelevant where I am at. It wasn't even on a main TV station and then they cut the coverage to go to NFL coverage right after the penalty kicks. The biggest problem is that soccer and American football are both Fall sports in American high school. A great athlete needs a special love for soccer to not end up playing on the American football team. American football in high school has all the prestige. Christian Pulisic is a great example. If he has a different upbringing there is a good chance he is playing American Football as a wide receiver.
