The Ultimate 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ Experience on Xfinity X1
Three billion. That’s how many people watched the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™. This year, the question remains: will America’s failure to qualify for soccer’s biggest event result in a drop off in stateside viewership? We don’t think so. Soccer is gaining steam in the U.S., and just because the U.S. Men’s National Team is missing out on the action, doesn’t mean you have to.
