All these posts make it sound like people just discovered the US for the first time ever. It’s just clickbait/trend bandwagoning.

There are a lot of people visiting the US for the first time for the world cup

Apparently, they only care about soccer because we’ve been here for a while. I guess we lack culture, unlike the French cooking methods?

I'm sure there are people that only care about soccer, and are coming to see the world cup despite it being in the USA. Maybe some of those people were pleasantly surprised by what they found here 🤷‍♂️
