YugoRocketsFan Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Well, here's some information the soccer haters aren't going to like — Sunday's World Cup final was the most-watched soccer match in U.S. television history. And, try as they might, it won't be easy for the soccer haters to minimize the numbers. Check out this little comparison: • The 2010 NBA Finals averaged 18 million viewers. • The 2009 World series averaged 19.4 million viewers. • The 2010 World Cup final drew 24.3 million viewers. That's startling even to soccer lovers. And, no doubt, astounding to soccer haters. The 24.3 million figure is the average number watching at any one time during the telecast. The Nielsen Co. estimates a total of 111.6 million viewers watched at least part of the match. What makes this all the more amazing is that there was no hint of homer-ism to this. Team USA had been eliminated two weeks earlier. As a matter of fact, Spain's 1-0 win over the Netherlands drew 4.9 million more American viewers than the U.S.-Ghana game — which had previously held the record as the most-watched soccer match in U.S. TV history. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700048601/World-Cup-viewed-my-multitudes.html Oh snap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 True but comparing it to a series of sports isn't fair at all, compare it to nba finals game 7, superbowl, bcs national championship, mens basketball national championship, soccer still has a long way to go, but perhaps there is a future for soccer in America.

They are using the average so i'd say its pretty fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Good to see a number like that. I think this World Cup really caught the attention of a lot of Americans. Hopefully the numbers continue to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 The increase in numbers is obviously due to the increase of illegal aliens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks Fly High Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) The increase in numbers is obviously due to the increase of illegal aliens.thats pretty whack buddy. but i do love the sig haha Edited July 16, 2010 by Hawks Fly High Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 thats pretty whack buddy. but i do love the sig haha its pretty serious actually, bush was considered a member of the reptilian race. They say there has been lots of interbreeding within our country, who knows how many are living among us, and im guessing this increase of world final cup is related to it. The ultimate goal is a one world government, soccer is the worlds most popular sport, but in america. The goal is to make soccer seem more appealing and growing in numbers in the states to make the push to a one world government that much easier.
