For those who had planned to attend a FIFA World Cup match in the United States, is anyone reconsidering whether it's safe to travel to the US for the event??

I doubt it. This is the World Cup after all. Football fans have love fighting, god, and then their religion... football. Being sensitive to world politics doesn't factor into their thinking.

It'll be packed with fans. They'll even put news stories on about how "safe" it is for women fans. Look at Russia and Qatar as examples. Why do people think otherwise?
