[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 823154, member: 70552"] Well, that remains to be seen. 1 game per year which was sold out is different from the countless games that would be staged in a RWC back to back, sometimes 3 games in a week and then the knockout stages once the US Eagles go out at the pool stage (if they don't do a Euro 2016 and let 3rd place teams go through). At least when England went out in the last one English fans still attended matches in the RWC 2015, but started to drift away once the semis/final happened. But I went to the final and know there was no way I would have got a ticket had England or any of the other home nations reached it. The attendance for the final according to Wiki was 80,125, compared to the full capacity of 82,000. I dread to think what would happen if and when the US Eagles got knocked out early in their own RWC. Would American fans really turn up to support other teams in a sport where they have little tradition? I am not so sure. [/QUOTE]
