I'd think you'd be surprised at how popular soccer is in the US! It does vary from different parts of the country but I'd say it was in the top 3 or 4 of sports over there and does have a high participation rate as well i believe. Women's soccer is also extremely popular.A slight tangent but it was announced today that the 2026 finals will be held jointly in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Football is only really a major sport in Mexico and that country hosted the 1970 and 1986 finals. The USA was the venue for the 1994 finals. So this will be the third finals to be held in Mexco (albeit partly this time) since England held its solitary finals in 1966.
