Singling out Americans because the USA didn't qualify. International football isn't as big of a thing here as in Europe so I presume it's more natural that people in Europe care anyway (and I can only think of one active user from one of the European countries that didn't qualify).

So... do you?

From an entertainment perspective not really soccer is pretty lame and boring. From a sports betting perspective absolutely. Am Canadian also

This.

I really don't like it. Not because I hate soccer, but because the fans get really annoying when it happens, at least here in LA.

Normally I'd care, but there's just so much filler. Russia vs Saudi Arabia?
No thanks.

I'll care more when we're past the group stage.

Yes.

Because Summer TV is the drizzling shits normally, and it's a nice distraction even if England will probably be gone by the Knockouts. I'm behind them but have learned to taper my expectations also, it's great seeing real Giant-Killing. Why should it always be the Brazils, Germanys, Spains and Italys?!

Well, Italy didn't qualify, so there's that.

On topic, I wouldn't say I "care", meaning I don't care who wins. But I'll be watching as many games as I can and enjoying it, yeah.

1986. First time in my lifetime they didn't make it :(. Still, I love the tournament, and will mostly root on England.

No thanks.

Yeah but it's very exciting for Russia as first-time hosts.

I'd probably care about the women's tournament. Men, not so much.

And before you think that's because the USWNT actually is good, I feel this way about a lot of sports. I'd rather watch women's sports. Don't really know why. I'm not staring at their asses. (Well, maybe, depending on the sport, but that's not the motivation.)

This is turning out as interesting as I expected. Americans don't give a shit when compared to other countries, especially those that qualified.

That said, I should have grouped Canada with the US tbh

I mean, it's just not a very popular sport here, it doesn't really have that much to do with whether or not we qualified

In 2014, when we did qualify, there was a passing fad. People cared for a month, then it disappeared.

Now nobody cares at all.

I normally care but I don't really this year, but it's because Italy failed to qualify rather than the U.S. Well, it's probably a combination really, if one had qualified then I'd probably find enough in me to care, but both failing to qualify really killed it for me.
