Why do Americans care more about the Olympics than the WorldCup?

Hi.
I’m planning on doing a research project on soccer’s popularity in the U.S. While I was gaining information sources for the project, I realized that the Olympics’ TV ratings in the U.S is much higher than that of the Worldcup. Some people might say that this is because soccer isn’t popular here, but there aren’t that many sports played during the Olympics that is popular here in the U.S either. At least we have a professional soccer league that is known to have an attendance of 15,000 per game in average.

#1. Do you think the Olympics is more watched by Americans because Americans see it as an event that is much more than just a sports competition?

#2. Or do you think Americans are more interested in it because the U.S is good at it?

The Olympics contains almost every sport on the planet, so it has a little bit of everything where as the FIFA World Cup is soccer and, no disrespect to soccer, Americans don’t like soccer much. Well, Americans do like soccer but not enough to follow it.
