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

How many watched the Womens World Cup back in 2000? It will be more than that.

US Women vs. China in the 99 final drew 11 million households (I believe the best rating in America for a soccer game).

July 4, 1994 when USA played Brazil in the round of 16 at the Rose Bowl, drew a 9.3 rating (apx 9 million households?). I remember this game had a bigger media buzz than the USA-Germany game for a number of reasons (patriotic, USA as underdog vs. a top team, in USA, etc.)

I think if the USA makes the final in Germany, 30-40 millions households is reasonable. They are currently ranked #7 in the world and playing well, so this is possible.
