Вот еще про пупулярность соккера в США из английской википедии:
As of 2006, there are over 24 million Americans playing soccer. There are 4.2 million players (2.5 million men and 1.7 million women) registered with U.S. Soccer.[24] Thirty percent of American households contain someone playing soccer, a figure second only to baseball.[25] Increasing numbers of Americans, having played the game in their youth, are now avid spectators. A 2012 ESPN sports poll ranked soccer as the #2 most popular sport in the country for 12-24 year olds.[26] Most cities with MLS teams have large fan bases, and cities with USL teams have support on par with minor league teams in other sports.
7% населения играет в футбол. В 30% семей кто-нибудь играет в футбол (второй показатель после бейсбола). Второй по популярности спорт для 12-24 летних по данным ESPN. И это, у Ивана, "вообще ни о чем"!
