The TV ratings are in for the US-Ghana match, posting a 7.0 on ESPN. That doesn't include people who watched on digital apps like watch espn, online through Univision, and listening on the radio.

I'd bet by the end of the tournament, all records for ratings will be broken.

USA Ghana came on the West Coast at 3pm. No way the casual USA loving American left work to watch it. You are mostly getting real fans and young people.

 

How does a 7.0 compare to say, Monday Night Football? And do you think all the bars and viewing parties are accounted for? Can that skew the numbers?

I think Monday Night Football averaged like 14 million viewers this year.

 

There is no way these ratings can accurately take into account viewing parties. One of the biggest things about soccer is the camaraderie, especially during international play. It's all about watching with other supporters.

I just remember in 2002 I was working and I couldn't watch the games in Korea. On top of that my family did not have a cable television plan. I bet there are tons of people out there that rather go to the bar then pay a hundred bucks or more for cable. And then there are teenagers on Summer break with no cable plan and unwelcome at bars. I remember it being very hard to watch Soccer as a teenager in the late 90s early 00s.

Univision probably pulled a big number too. I honestly like to check Univision because I love the commentary. I don't understand a lick of it but it's exciting.

 

 

If you somehow get Azteca 7 from a satellite provider, you should watch it there. They are the best and the commentary is lively as heck. Even if you don't understand it, you can get the gist of it and get excited too.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
