Oh boy, what's up?
Because guess what percent of us Americans are somewhat interested or very interested in watching a World Cup match this year, according to YouGov.
It is with the numbers, coach.
Just 29% of us are interested in watching a game.
Interest is nil, a little bit of footy fatigue.
Now, it's not just the surveys.
We got the receipts to prove it.
Or lack of receipts, Jack.
Yeah, because there are still tickets available to the U.S.
opening match on Friday in Los Angeles.

of soccer.
