World Cup Ratings

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.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
