Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Yep.  Yet my "well, back to 4 years of apathy" about soccer comment was questioned, lol.
This poll and this result DURING the World Cup is supposed to be revealing.
Thank you for the reveal.

Unlike some of you, my team has never won the NC. As a CFB fan, if they had, I'd *still* probably take an NC before the USMNT winning the WC. But given that Purdue has never won it (and now Indiana--eewwwww!--has), it's not even close. OF COURSE I'd take my own personal team winning an NC over a US WC win.

Sorry for fitting right in with the rest of you. 
This website could be called logicalfallacy.com, ffs.

You're on a CFB board asking CFB fans whether they prefer not only CFB to WC, but whether they prefer THEIR OWN TEAM winning the NC over their national soccer team winning a sport that isn't the sport that they've self-selected to be on a message board for. 

That's a logical fallacy called hasty generalization... You're trying to extrapolate from a poll of an unrepresentative sample to prove a point about "the masses" of an entire nation.

I'm still watching. 

They got me hooked in, with the intensity, strategy, sheer athleticism and the spirit of the fans.

Soccer's fun to watch. I really enjoy it.  It's not a competition with college football, and it's certainly possible to like more than one sport at a time.

You're also allowed to like both comedy movies, AND dramas!  You can like both rock music, AND country.  You can like both cake, AND pie!  This is all permissible and even common!

Mind-blowing for some I suppose.

NBA viewership has tanked, as I understand it.

I'll go ahead and 'fess up to being the one USMNT vote.  And no, @utee94 , I'm not just being a contrarian 

My apathy about cfb in general and LSU in particular is well-documented here.  I first noticed it in 2014.  It wasn't sudden, like an on/off switch, but gradual.  By the time 2019 came around, I can't say I didn't enjoy anything, but it was nothing like I felt in 2003 or 2007.  Hell, there's plenty of non-title seasons I enjoyed more than that.  My interest was beginning to reach the nadir at that time.  For various reasons, I just don't enjoy it like I used to.  I recall the passing game was objectively fascinating to watch, but my personal enjoyment as a fan wasn't nearly as present as it used to be.  

I still get some entertainment from the games, but often I think it's just because it passes the time, and I wonder if I'd still bother if the wife didn't still love it.  I mainly post here not because of the cfb origin, but because I've known you goons for 20 years now.

Then there's what @betarhoalphadelta pointed out, about being a Purdue fan and his team not having sniffed a title for his entire fandom.  I imagine that plays a role in my blase attitude.  I got to experience the mountaintop as a fan.  Maybe it becomes less meaningful if you've already had that experience.  

OTOH, while I'm not a soccer fan, I just think it would be cool if the USA excelled at something we historically haven't been very good at.  It'd still be a point of national pride for me even while not being a fan of the sport.  I'm a big fan of the moon landings even though I don't know the first thing about aerospace engineering and don't care to.  

So, that's my rationale.  In the last half-decade, LSU has been undefeated and LSU has been very defeated.  Neither moved my needle all that much.  But winning the World Cup would be super cool, I think.
