The World Cup Returns

Gary Hopkins

Chapter Chapter 14 in Star-Spangled Soccer, 2010, pp 308-313 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: 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.
