Never heard of it
More proof that nobody in the world's only relevant country gives a about this third-world "sport":
Fifa wanted to call it Men of Legend or The Dream Makers. But even a somewhat more toned down le has not been enough to stop United Passions being named as the lowest-grossing film in US box office history.
The Hollywood Reporter has now confirmed the self-congratulatory project, starring Tim Roth as controversial outgoing president Sepp Blatter, scored the puniest total of all time in North America. With a final weekend return of just $918 from 10 cinemas, Frederic Auburtin’s £17m drama - Fifa paid most of the costs - lines up ahead of such ans of modern cinema as 2012 vampire rock musical I Kissed a Vampire ($1,380) and 2013 animated adventure Last Flight of the Champion ($1,493).
United Passions was pulled from cinemas by its distributor after its appalling performance, so its record-breaking low will remain crystallised in history. Auburtin admitted earlier this week that the film, also starring Gerard Depardieu and Sam Neill, represented “a disaster” and said he regretted his involvement. Roth has said he did the movie to get out of a financial hole and admitted the knowledge that his son would one day play Blatter would have had his father “turning in his grave”. Meanwhile, Cannes president Thierry Fremaux revealed the movie was only screened at the film festival in May under pressure from Depardieu.
It was Auburtin who revealed those excruciating proposed les. Critics have also not been kind: The Guardian’s Jordan Hoffman labelled United Passions cinematic “excrement”, adding: “As proof of corporate insanity it is a valuable case study.”

No one gives a . Not even ISIS ball fans.
Rofl this was only produced to launder money for corrupt fifa
no one gives a about this movie in the world
Mid season mid day Chelsea man city game destroying prime time championship Super Bowl in viewers and ratings
Fact
Meanwhile in 'Merica
Why are you laughing at futbol son? This is a movie about suits, of course nobody gives a .
The movie didn't fail because soccer isn't popular — it failed because nobody likes corrupt FIFA right now and it was the worst possible timing for a movie to glorify Sepp Blatter.
The numbers aren't lying: the popularity of soccer is rising as millennials are watching it more and more. The real sport with dwindling popularity is baseball tbh.
The real Hunger Games.
Check out the TV deals baseball teams keep signing before you write it off as a dying sport. Meanwhile, Major Soccer League is getting worse ratings than the WNBA
In 2014, 35 percent of fans call the NFL their favorite sport, followed by Major League Baseball (14 percent), college football (11 percent), auto racing (7 percent), the NBA (6 percent), the NHL (5 percent) and college basketball (3 percent).Jan 26, 2014
- Eighty-six percent of Americans say they know nothing or very little about the World Cup
- Two in three Americans do not plan to follow the tournament
- Seven percent say they plan to follow the World Cup closely

Basically, no to what you said.
People here dont give two s about soccer outside of the world cup.
To be fair he is pretty fat so he might of just had a heart attack or a series of strokes.
He has a great future in futbol.
the statistic nobody watches or gives a damn about football....were they interviewing ******s and whites?
i thought latinos make up half the US population...

This article states that youth soccer is on the rise, which, could perhaps lead to the popularity on a professional level.
And then, there's this: stating the watching of the sport is on the rise.

Different sources say different things. There is zero doubt that the massive popularity of the FIFA video games has lead a generation of children into the sport, and now as they are grown up — they're going to make the sport popular in the United States.
It's the only country sans perhaps Canada that the sport hasn't broken into. It's been growing in popularity substantially, especially if you compare it to the early '90s. Obviously this won't be an overnight change, but if you think that it hasn't grown in popularity — that's extremely dense.
