 Czech Republic won the Hockey World Championship! 🔥

But when I talk to people in the US, they don't even know it was happening. I always wonder why this is, especially since the US participates in the tournament. What's the story behind it? Do Americans only focus on their own big events like the Super Bowl, and ignore what's happening outside their country?

 I’m a die hard 🇨🇦 hockey fan and I never cared for this event 🤷‍♂️

All eyes are on the other tournament…

 US don't care about events out of US, and I guess it's quite common. But why, I do not know. Maybe propagation? They aren't even know about?

 I swear that once an US profi ship seller in Florida looked at my notebook, on the cover of which was a map of the world, and asked me what is the continent on the other side of the Atlantic... need to hear more?
