They did this already. It didn't get people in America to care about soccer. |

it's fun to pretend to watch/cheer/care about team usa and soccer for like 10 minutes until you realize it's boring as fuck and literally doing anything else is more interesting. |

Hank beat me to it. FIFA eliminated the possibility of the USA not qualifying by having it in the USA. |

"In March, several potential host cities — including Chicago, Minneapolis and Arizona — also dropped out over what local officials said were burdensome financial demands by FIFA." Wait...we give half the city away to any company that asks... |

As long as they are playing in American timezones, able to brand it as American games with Team USA autoqualifying they are happy. |

So America gets the World Cup but the huge city with all the soccer-loving Poles and Mexicans won't have any games? That's cool. Enjoy Cincinnati. |

They’ve already announced the vast majority of games will be in US including quarterfinals and on. It was great in 94 to go to games on the lakefront. |

Know nothing about soccer, but yeah, that was cool. I do think the Chicago games were overshadowed by the powerhouse '94 Sox. |

You know...the funny thing is that Fox has the broadcast rights for the World Cup...I'm half hoping for Dick Stockton to do games just to listen to him fuck up names. |

You should read about the fleecing of Cinci over their new MLS stadium. As if they didn't figure it out the first two times with the baseball and the (American) football. |

I don't think the World Cup will make America care about soccer. We never will. But who has better infrastructure for such an event? England, maybe? No one has to build any stadiums here. |

No one has to build any stadiums here. You are right that they don't, yet taxpayers keep paying for them because of promises of jobs and some magical inflow of money and some fleeting popularity in the press. I was glad to see that Chicago specifically said they didn't want any part of being considered a host. |
