AFC Richmond — a fictional soccer club — sits at 0.88 in Clint Dempsey's top 10, tied with Carli Lloyd and just ahead of Taylor Twellman at 0.88. That placement captures the two-peak structure of this audience: one cluster anchored in U.S. Soccer institutions, another that extends into soccer-adjacent media and culture.
The first peak is dense and high-scoring. U.S. Soccer MNT leads at 0.94, followed by fellow athlete Tim Howard at 0.94 and U.S. Soccer WNT at 0.93. Alexi Lalas (0.92) and Jozy Altidore (0.91) extend the cluster — all Athletes or Sports Teams subcategories, all tightly bound to the U.S. national soccer ecosystem. Six of the top 10 neighbors share Dempsey's own Athletes subcategory: Howard, Lalas, Altidore, Christian Pulisic (0.89), Alex Morgan (0.89), and Carli Lloyd (0.88). The second peak is where the audience shape diverges: AFC Richmond (0.88, Fictional Characters) and Twellman (0.88, Athletes) sit alongside NBC Sports Soccer (0.87, TV Channels) just outside the top 10 — pointing to an audience that also tracks soccer storytelling and broadcast media, not just players. The lone non-soccer, non-media entry in the top 10 is AFC Richmond itself, whose fictional-club subcategory marks the cultural bridge between the sport and its narrative extensions.
The overall shape is a tightly defined soccer audience with a secondary pull toward the sport's media and fictional representations.
