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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
