'There's a World Cup happening?' Are Americans excited about the tournament?

The World Cup has begun, but it appears many Americans are not highly enthusiastic about the tournament. Despite being one of the most widely viewed sporting events globally, the World Cup has historically struggled to gain significant traction in the US. As a result, many people across the country seem unaware that the tournament is currently underway. The lack of excitement may be due to the US men's national team not participating in the event, as well as the country's strong following of other sports like football and baseball.
