If proof were needed just how popular soccer is in the United States, one only needs look at the attendance for Real Madrid's pre-season friendly against Chelsea in Michigan on Saturday night.
An astonishing 105,826 people went to Michigan Stadium - known for good reason as the Big House - in Ann Arbor for the International Champions Cup match.
It was the largest ever attendance for a Chelsea match and was the second biggest crowd for a soccer match in US history, behind Manchester United's friendly against Real Madrid at the same venue in 2014, which drew 109,318.
