Default Re: If America got to the World Cup final, how many Yanks would watch it?

I just looked up some numbers.

86.1 million people watched last year's Super Bowl.

3.8 million watched the US vs Germany quarterfinal in 2002.

Now, be aware that it was 7:30 AM Eastern Time and 4:30 AM Pacific Time for the match, so it was very early and half the country wasn't even awake yet.

If it were in prime time, and the Finals instead of the Quarterfinals, I'd now guess we get to 40 million instead of my first guess of 56 million. So 50% of the super bowl audience.
