Americans officially have World Cup fever — and the only prescription, it seems, is more tickets. The United States Men's National Team should have more supporters, by a vast margin, than any country other than host Brazil at the World Cup this summer, according to ticket sales data released this week.

FIFA, world soccer's governing body, said a total of 1,591,435 World Cup tickets have been sold to fans so far. Brazilians get 65% of those tickets, while international fans can buy the remaining 35%. The top four international countries for ticket sales are the United States, Australia, England and Colombia. But just how far ahead the U.S. is may surprise you.

Here are the top five ticket-buying nations so far, according to FIFA data released on Tuesday:

1. Brazil: 1,041,418 tickets bought so far

2. USA: 154,412 tickets bought so far

3. Australia: 40,681 tickets bought so far

4. England: 38,043 tickets bought so far

5. Colombia: 33,126 tickets bought so far

The U.S. also performed strongly for ticket sales ahead of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. As Deadspin pointed out, the U.S. is the most populous country in the 2014 World Cup, so this should be expected to a certain extent. But for a country where soccer is rapidly growing in popularity after decades of national apathy surrounding the sport, this is still pretty cool to see.

Tickets go on sale again in a "last minute" phase beginning April 15. They aren't cheap, though; the face value of a "Category 1" ticket in a desirable seating location for a group-play match is $175.

For many, however, that's money well spent.

Never Forget the USMNT's 1994 World Cup Kits

1. 1. Known as "the Denim Kit," the jerseys were made to look like denim. Yes, denim. Why? Because denim signifies America, of course.

2. 2. These things have become major collectors' items for some, and have the high price tags to go with that status. Here's a relatively uninspired-looking replica listed for $185 on eBay. Here's a purportedly game-worn authentic one listed for $500.

The United States defeated Colombia 2-1.

3. 3. The kits were designed by Adidas. But, before settling on the denim versions, a tie-dye concept was considered, according to a 2011 interview with Adidas product manager Drew Gardner.

   That. Would. Have. Been. Awesome.

4. 4. These jerseys were the perfect complement to ginger defender Alexi Lalas' wild hair-and-beard combo.

5. 5. The 1994 home versions were a bit more understated. But, because the United States hosted in '94, the USMNT only wore the starry away numbers once, for its Round of 16 elimination loss to Brazil on July 4. Now, was that sad result just a simple coincidence? You be the judge.
