That's a terrible shame. The 11% who plan on watching it really doesn't surprise me for two reasons. Soccer is still gaining popularity in this country (it still has a ways to go, but at least it IS catching on) and also because most of the American television channels are airing very little of the World Cup.
The other thing you mentioned: 56% of Americans didn't know it was being played in Germany... well that is just terrible. This tells me many people are just not paying an attention to it at all. It really shouldn't matter if a person likes soccer or not. It is a world event, and this alone should be enough to make people pay at least a little attention to it. Or at the very least, know what country it is being played in.
That is just my opinion though.

Do they have any hope at all? ???

Okay some things.. they are gonna go to the next round, but they are in the same group as Argentina. That might be a huge problem.

They play in two days against Argentina... even if they lose they are still qualified. Okay, lets say they get to the next round. They play against Argentina again... and that is where I don't think they would make it.
BTW, I must compliment Tunisia on their solid defense.
