quicko: the world cup
Is (or was) a bigger deal here than in the U.S. It wasn't crazy huge (Boston gets considerably more hyped up at Red Sox World Series times), but much more noticeable than I ever remember it having been. The Australian team is called the Socceroos, which I think is cool enough they shouldn't have to do much more than show up. Which is mostly about what they did.

My observation is that the World Cup is gaining prominence in the US, too, as it was much more visible this year than I ever remember it being previously. Not quite as hyped up as our other pinnacle sporting events, however.
Yes, but why does the USA have a preponderence to name the finals of sports that only you play, or at least only has USA teams playing, "World" cup / series etc?
But Canada's in the World Series, too!! :)
