On Tuesday night, the United States failed to make the World Cup for the first time since 1986, and missing out results in plenty of money lost.

Although exact numbers won't ever be known, the biggest losers of the result are clear.

Fox Sports: The news of the U.S. team's elimination comes just 13 days after Fox announced that the 2018 World Cup would be the biggest production in the brand's 24-year history, with 350 live hours of programming.

Fox paid about $200 million for the Cup, and giving the advertisers the numbers they want might be difficult with the English language broadcaster's home team not playing.
