The World Cup Returns

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Stop the world for three weeks in June of 2022 and send every 16–30 year-old in America to a World Cup Soccer match in the USA and nothing would ever be the same in American sports again. A nation of kids brought up on soccer and then experiencing the greatest atmosphere of any sports event they have ever seen would be enough to make them fans for life and relegate the experiences of baseball and football to their father’s scrapbook. The impact of bringing back the World Cup to the United States is that big.
