The US-S. Korea game set a record with a 1.9 share overnight. 2 million homes were tuned in to watch the big game.




U.S. scores big in TV ratings
Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea -- Soccer fans around the United States stayed up late to watch America's 1-1 tie against South Korea in the World Cup, setting another ratings record for the sport on ESPN2.

The game, which started at 2:30 a.m. ET Monday, got a 1.62 cable rating and was seen in an average of 1.36 million households, Nielsen Media Research said Tuesday.

The previous high for ESPN2 was 1.26 million households for a first-round Women's World Cup game between the United States and North Korea on June 27, 1999.

ESPN said Monday's game was watched by about 918,000 men aged 18-34, the most-watched program from 1-6 a.m. EDT among that group on a cable network with advertising since records began in August 1991.

ESPN2's first 25 broadcasts are averaging a 0.64 cable rating and 540,000 households, 6½ times more than watched during the same time periods last year. ESPN's five broadcasts have averaged 547,000 homes, slightly more than double the average viewership during that time period last year.

The Americans' final first-round game, against Poland on Friday at 7:30 a.m., will be televised by ESPN.

England's 1-0 victory over Argentina last Friday, which started at 7:30 a.m. ET, got a 1.22 cable rating on ESPN2 and was seen by 1,025,500 households, outdrawing the Americans' 3-2 win over Portugal, which began at 5 a.m. two days earlier (1.19/998,000 households).

In 1998, when the World Cup was played in France and games were broadcast during the morning and afternoon ET, ESPN averaged 670,000 households and ESPN2 averaged 292,000.

ABC's replay of England's win at 1:15 p.m. ET Saturday got a 1.9 overnight rating and 5 share in 53 major markets, which translates to 2 million households. The overnight was up 6 percent from the 1.8/5 received by the Netherlands' 5-0 rout of South Korea, televised live in the corresponding period during the 1998 World Cup.

I don't dislike soccer, I just have a hard time sitting there for a couple hours without taking my eyes off the screen.

There's just not enough excitement for me.

Not in that form, anyway. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

In basketball, yes.

In, er...nevermind. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I do!

*cough*

Anyway, I've been trying to get into soccer for a long time, but I was having trouble figuring out the rules since I could only ever watch it in Spanish before the world cup -.-;;;; So, now that I get it, I really like it. I've even been watching the games without the US playing.

Bah! I thought the rest of the world was supposed to revolve around the US? At least that's what it said in the brochure.

(heavy irony for those who can't tell)

Brazil's goalkeeper Marcos (rear) makes a save in front of Belgium's Gert Verheyen during their second round match at the World Cup finals in Kobe June 17, 2002. REUTERS/Pawel Kopczynski

had to look for a thread to put this one in. definitely not a boring sport when you can see only the highlights like this.
