I think people need to stop with the whole "the U.S. isn't a football nation" argument because it really doesn't make much sense.
The United States has played in multiple World Cups, reached a World Cup quarterfinal before, and has a long history with the sport. Football is also definitely one of the top three most popular sports in the country right now, and its popularity continues to grow every year. Just because it is not the No. 1 sport does not mean the U.S. is not a football nation.
It also ignores the success of the USWNT, which is arguably the most successful national team in women's football history. Saying the U.S. is not a football nation takes away from everything they have achieved.

Indiana is exactly how I dreamed America would be
Small towns, wide open spaces, cornfields, barns, cute houses, diners, water towers, friendly people, great food, American flags everywhere, and so much more!
Time for the next part of this adventure
Thank you Indiana!
This is the most โThe European mind canโt comprehend thisโ moment of my life. One of my friends said, โPunch me five times tomorrow and Iโll still think this isnโt real.โ
I think what most Europeans fail to understand is that the US is... really big. It's essentially 50 countries lumped into one, each with its own culture.
Football/soccer culture isn't the same in NYC as it is in LA, which isn't the same as Ohio or Texas, etc.
This stadium is in a small southern town in America with a full-time population of roughly 80k people.
Read that again then try to tell me the USA doesn't have the greatest sports infrastructure on Earth.
@Denzell_Of_NSH@Tre092@USMNT Aye! lol but in all seriousness if they did this at fair park at noon on a Saturday they would have 80k+ people there for a WCQ
90,000 show up to watch a soccer match on a Tuesday night. Not in LA, San Fran or New York. Auburn.. Auburn, Alabama. Right in the heart of the Deep South.
Gotta kill the narrative that Americans donโt care about the sport.
