The stadiums for the world cup were pretty full with non-USA

Yea if you’re willing to give FIFA money why not give USA some money too. We’re not talking about the brightest bulbs here.

Actually a lot of the people were locals. There was an article on the Dutch news stating whenever the real Dutch supporters, saw other people wearing orange, the were mostly Americans.

According to the official figures, just released, out of the 6.5 million visitors, only 1.2 million were international visitors.

The people went for the world cup, not for the US... obviously.
