According to a media release on FIFA's website, to no surprise, Brazilians have been assigned the most tickets at just over 906,000 for the 2014 World Cup. The U.S. is first internationally with 125,465 tickets allocated.

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

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.
