Canada is not the only country in the world aware of the US influence and reach.

I hear you from “a purely sporting perspective” but the World Cup is like the Olympics and is much more than a little tournament.
Because of the massive size of the World Cup as more than a sporting event, no one really cares about the US making it or not. Even when England misses, Europe's English language media cares but the world, not really.
