The 2026 FIFA World Cup landed right on America's 250th birthday, and the fans who came to mock it stayed to say four words no one saw coming: "We were wrong about Americans." In this video: • Why FIFA turned two Round of 16 games into Super Bowl–level spectacles • Idina Menzel, The Roots & DJ Jazzy Jeff in Philadelphia — plus a Navy fighter-jet flypast • Astronauts on the field and a fireworks-themed pitch banner in Houston • The viral clips: German fans, "The Europeans are here for the 250th," and 80k fans singing "Country Roads" • The cruel irony: co-host Canada eliminated 3–0 by Morocco ON July 4th • The record numbers: 31.8M peak, 24.43M average — the biggest soccer audience in US English-language TV history What's next: USMNT vs. Belgium, July 6 in Seattle. Round of 16, win or go home.
