FOX Sports risk losing diehard soccer audience

FOX Sports’ coverage of World Cup 2022 has been a mixed bag. Despite the United States exceeding expectations, FOX’s coverage has been so mainstream and unconventional that it risks losing the soccer audience that is the foundation of their TV ratings.
