go-to something
Today I happened to hear the phrase “go‑to fans” in an English news podcast. The context was about the FIFA World Cup starting this weekend. A commentator said that there aren’t many go‑to soccer fans in the US, where basketball and the NFL are more popular. I found it to be an interesting expression. I’m wondering whether “go‑to” is an everyday English expression.

"go-to" is a common colloquial adjective in English. It means "relied on frequently due to bringing good results". So in this case "go-to fans" means there aren't many soccer fans in the US who could be relied on to fill out these stadiums. A common way I would hear it be used is like this:
"This is my go-to person for this job. They always get it done right."

Well written! As a native English speaker, "go-to" is a reasonably common phrase. I haven't heard it in this context too much but I would say that it is used as sort of a recommendation, for example someone might ask "What is your go-to meal?". In this context, the question is "When cooking, what is the easiest and best thing you can cook?". "Go-to" can also mean, "Which ones to look out for" in a sporting context. Hope this helps! :)
