Americans, will you watch/care about the World Cup?

I'm wondering how much you Americans care about the greatest sporting event in the world, and if you will be watching the USA team play at all (or at the very least look at the results).

How big is Football over there?

It's fun to watch the pansies fake injuries. 

Not a fan of Soccer or Futball, so...

No, but I don't watch the sports that are popular over here....

no...

you just need to look at any world cup thread to realise alot of American's hate the sport without really knowing anything about it.

Yeah... but I was raised in part by the French, so I guess it's that half talking.

Not a lot of people over here will watch the world cup. It's just not a big thing over here. However in melting pot areas like where I am from (Washington DC) theres actually a good amount of excitement. Which reminds me, I still have to bother my friend for a Spain Jersey cause I am a filthy freedom hating trator. 
 
Also, I'm not too into real football, I just like Spain.

I dont watch soccer normally, (too many fake injuries healed my miraculous bottles of water) but I love me some World Cup. So yes, I will be tuned in as I am every 4 years.

Your country has a team in the Cup. I would expect more people to support them even if you don't like the sport. At least a little because that is a high percentage of no so far.

I wont' watch because I can't stand to watch soccer, but I will look at results and will consider watching the game that decides the champion. Otherwise I don't care about soccer at all.

It's a real shame that most Americans don't seem to care, the USA have a really strong team. You should easily qualify for the knock-out rounds.

Pfffffft.  No.

No. I may watch a minute or two of it if I pass it on tv, maybe.

I'm Canadian, and I love me some World cup. 

No, I won't be watching unless I see part of it here and there while I'm at work.

i will care until the US gets knocked out, so should be any day now.

I love watching the world cup every four years, and im american. i happen to think soccer is also one of the greatest sports and play it myself. i also managed to get to the last game vs Turkey in Philadelphia before the US team went off to Africa. so go USA, failing that ... go Netherlands!

I voted i'm not american, i'm canadian and I don't give a shit.

I clicked 'no' before I read the paranethetical (or at least check the results) in the OP :P.  I may check the results, whether or not the US does well. I tend to take some interest in a lot of different sports, but I just don't find soccer/football remotely interesting.  Maybe I have too short an attention span, but I don't like how low scoring it is.
 
I was on vacation somewhere once and was a bit bored, ended up watching 3-4 games while I was there.  And saw maybe 6 goals?  I know this is my own ignorance not really 'appreciating' what I was seeing, but it felt like a damn lot of running around for so little payoff.  I tend to like variety in outcomes in my sports.  Hockey is about as low-scoring as I can take.  Baseball and american football (which I'm sure paints me in someone's horrible stereotype) have slugfests and stingy play and somehow both of those feel more tactical as a result.  Teams may play for one-run/field position or they may go for the bigger risk/rewards.
 
Also, I can't stand the loosey-goosey time management.  "Stoppage time" just feels too  arbitrary.  Again, I probably haven't seen enough games to appreciate it's purity, but I don't understand why they don't manage time like most other time-centric sports - stop it on out of bounds, resume it in play.  No random "and now the bonus round!" stuff.

Seriously though I am not a big fan and won't be watching only time I really care for the sport is when I go and watch my nephews play. They are 6 and 7 and don't fake injuries all the time.

nope don't care

" It's a real shame that most Americans don't seem to care, the USA have a really strong team. You should easily qualify for the knock-out rounds. "

No, but I don't really care about major sporting events in general.

Yes. Go Team USA!

No.  The only sport I watch is football, and that's when  I'm bored.

No. It's not something I'm interested in. I don't care for soccer that much.

Our own captain said he didn't see us getting past the 2nd round. "

I'm Canadian and I'll be going for either Italy (dad was born there) or France (mom's heritage if you go back far enough). Toronto being a multi-cultural city, most people here will be watching attentively. I on the other hand will be driving across Canada.

Hell no.

Fuck. Yes. 
The World Cup is by far the most exciting event in sports. The closest thing (March Madness) can't even be compared to it.
Some people just don't know what they're missing.

No, I hate soccer.

No, I don't even know why/how soccer/football has gotten this big boost of interest here all of a sudden. I see commercials all the time about WATCH THE WORLD CUP! DO IT WITH OUT SATELLITES!!! I don't get it. 

Eh. I may not be an American but, I've always found football to be incredibly boring to watch.
 
Everyone I know(no exceptions) is going fucking crazy about it, though. Which means I'll be watching most of it!
 
@TheCreamFilling:
What are  you talking about? soccer has always been a big thing, its the most popular sport in the world.

" Pfffffft.  No. "

What? Is USA even it it?

No, hate sports.

I will absolutely watch it, when I can that is. Most game times for the east coast are morning/early afternoon. So weekdays won't work for me because of work, but I'm down for the weekends. Gotta find a nice pub to watch Saturdays U.S./England game, should be fun.

nope i watch real football
