The World Cup
Now, the World Cup is being held and attracts many people.
I'm not interested in sports, so I haven't watched the World Cup or the Olympics. Because matches are aired, my favorite TV programs get canceled, so I'm a bit irritated.
There may be people like this all over the world, but I can't understand that a lot of bandwagon fans suddenly appear at times like this. Though they don't usually watch soccer matches, they excitedly watch only the World Cup.
Although they don't have any favorite players, and even though they can't understand the rules, I wonder whether they really enjoy the matches.
On social media, some Japanese people claim that the J-League doesn't reach a high level, so it's boring. The World Cup is different from the J-League. I don't know whether the opinion is true or not. However, in fact, the J-League is not managed well. It is chronically in the red.
Unlike European countries, Japan doesn't have a culture of supporting local soccer teams yet.
In contrast, baseball is a popular local sport in Japan.
Even though I don't like sports, I know the names and mascots of baseball teams.
現在、世間はワールドカップに沸いています。
私はスポーツに興味がないため、ワールドカップもオリンピックもスルー。寧ろ、自分の見たい番組が休止になってしまうのが困りもの(笑)
どこの国にもいるかもしれませんが、「普段サッカー観劇しない癖にワールドカップに便乗して盛り上がる」にわかファンがこの時期だけ急増する点が解せません。
贔屓の選手がいなかったり、そもそもルールも把握していないのに試合を見て楽しめるの？
ネット民曰く、「Jリーグはレベルが低いからつまらない（けど、ワールドカップは違う）」らしいです。私には真実はわかりませんが、Jリーグの運営が不調であるという点だけは事実。慢性的な赤字体質です。欧州各国と異なり、地元チームを応援する土壌が整っていないようです。
対して、日本で人気のローカルスポーツは野球。スポーツ嫌いの私ですら、球団名とそのマスコットを知っています。

Feedback
Soccer's lack of success in Japan is mentioned frequently in the manga/anime Blue Lock. I've seen a lot of American viewers who watch the Japan matches in the World Cup just because they like Blue Lock 😂 Even though baseball is an American sport, I think Japanese people like it much more than Americans.

Thank you for your feedback.
Besides Blue Lock, there are many popular manga featuring soccer.
Some Japanese players join European leagues and become popular because they sometimes appear on Japanese TV shows.
However, the J-League is still not very popular.
As television spread in Japan, baseball culture developed, so both older and younger generations love baseball. One of the broadcasting companies sponsors a baseball team, so baseball games are often aired in prime time.
However, the J-League may not have a strong relationship with broadcasting companies.

"Can't understand that" doesn't sound natural to me.

In the original sentence, "although" and "even though" are coupled with "I wonder", which I don't think makes logical sense: 「～のに、～疑問に思う」

Grammatically, "the" is fine, but I think the writing as a whole would flow better if "that" was used, since it makes reference to the previous sentences.

However, the J-League is in fact not managed well.
There's just something about this order of "however" and "in fact" that troubles me. For some reason, the sentence sounds much better when "in fact" is shifted backwards. I suspect it's because "in fact" is not typically used right after another sentence-opening phrase ("however", "fortunately", luckily", etc.). Conversely, a phrase like "in fact, however, ..." sounds perfectly fine, because "however" is quite commonly inserted behind another sentence-opening phrase.
Instead of using "in fact", you can alternatively say: "However, it is a fact that the J-League is not managed well." This would be a literal translation of the native text, but it works perfectly well too.

I suppose some people just enjoy being part of the excitement. It feels nice to have something to be excited about with millions of other people. For example, I don't really keep up to date with video games, and in fact I don't play them much anymore. However, when a highly-anticipated game comes out, I can palpably feel the excitement of others, and that makes me excited myself.

People who can quickly jump on trends without sticking to a particular genre seem to be quite outgoing.
