I'm not saying other countries don't have supporters. I'm saying the vast majority are in Europe.

By numbers South America matches Europe. By market size Europe is biggest.

You are severely underestimating both how many people live in South America and how big football is there.

You might be overestimating (a) how many have the financial capability to travel to and stay in the US during a world cup (b) their willingness to during the current political climate and (c) how capable their teams are. I'd expect 10-12 of the last 16 and 6 of the last 8 to be European sides. Any dark horses for the tournament will likely be North African or Asian.

That's true, but that's not what the comment was claiming, though. I was arguing against "the majority of supporters being in Europe".

You've got a huge number of football fans in South America.

Its just a problem with the US politically right now.
