No... The reason America doesn't care about it is this simple...
It is exactly what is wrong in our eyes with the rest of the world...
A game with no winner, it takes way to long, and there aren't enough scores to keep interest...
America likes games with defined winners and losers, that move fast, and take no prisoners...

I've been a soccer fan most of my life. I lived in Europe before coming to the States and soccer is more prevalent sport than the American Football. I played soccer in high school and college so I can truly say I'm a soccer fan!!!
The game literally unites millions of fans from around the world and is played by million of children around the world. I hope that we as fans receive the message they are promoting "Stop Racism."

I was a diehard soccer fan before the world cup, and will be til the day I die. To all of the non supporters of the game, there is a reason that its the worlds most popular sport, and I'll let you figure this one out on your own.

I always liked soccer but too bad my mom doesn't approves it. She didn't let me get in to a soccer team. So all I have is a Soccer ball.

Yes! Such a fan that I've taken to calling it football now! I watched my first WC game with Germany/Costa Rica, and I fell in love with the game and Germany. So now, I've become obsessed, though I'm still sad right now that Germany lost yesterday. Here's to a Portugal win today!

I was one before this! I am not from North America; I'm from Russia originally, and soccer is more important there.

Have always been one, but it is helping with spreading the love of the beautiful game to the general masses. Hopefully that helps the US in the next one.
