According to a media release on FIFA's website, to no surprise, Brazilians have been assigned the most tickets for the Summer's World Cup, at just over 906,000. The U.S. is first internationally with 125,465 tickets.

U.S. Men's National team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann is also excited about the support from American fans:

The U.S. will send more fans to the #WorldCup than any other nation in the world! Can't wait for the awesome support we will get in Brazil.

The U.S. rounds out group play on June 26th in Arena Pernambuco, Recife against Germany, where Klinsmann played and began his coaching career.
