3. She'll say anything to get attention

It's best to deny people like that the oxygen of publicity.

As someone who's lived in the US for nearly 35 years now, I've seen almost a complete turnaround in attitudes towards the sport. Coulter's opinions (if that's what they are, and the not the performance art I suspect it is) used to be absolutely mainstream.. Now (nearly) everybody is talking about the World Cup and many are genuinely excited by it. That's only going to grow even more in the future.

I'm really not exaggerating when I say that saying you liked "soccer" was almost on par with saying you were a communist and a homosexual 35 years ago.
