US-Belgium at World Cup is most-watched soccer telecast in US history at 30M
viewers, Fox says
By The Associated Press
The U.S. game against Belgium in the round of 16 at the World Cup set another
record as the most-watched soccer telecast in U.S. history, Fox said after
preliminary ratings came out Tuesday.
Fox said 30 million people watched the game, a 4-1 victory for Belgium on
Monday in Seattle to move into the quarterfinals and eliminate the last of the
tournament's three co-hosts. Fox said audience peaked at more than 36.8 million
people between 9:15 and 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
That topped the previous mark, the U.S.-Bosnia-Herzegovina game last week that
Fox said was watched by 26.4 million.
