95 out of 100 sports fans in the US couldn't tell you when or where the world cup is being held.
If you really want to list the US sports by popularity, meaning people watching or attending, it would go something like this:
College Football
NFL Football
High School Football
Nascar
Soccer is a good sport in the US for small kids to learn. Its not very complicated and its really safe, so small kids can play until they get older. If they still are athletic when they get older, they can advance to a more complicated sport.
If they master soccer and want to make a living at it, they practice, practice and practice until the big kids at school ask them to try out as the placekicker on the football team.
Some of the best soccer players in the world probably kick field goals in football stadiums instead of riding on a bus for 10 years making zero money.
