It is. A large part of that is the popularity of the EA FIFA game.

Yesterday, I heard stats about US World Cup TV ratings. First in ratings was Washington DC, which makes sense because of large international population because of government.

Second was the San Francisco Bay Area. Again, large multi-cultural population.

Finals ratings were down 10% from 2014, and down 44% overall.

The 2014 final featured a European country against a South American one so maybe had a wider appeal than an all European one.

That implies the average American knows the difference between the two or, probably more relevantly, the existence of either.
