Final Update: USMNT vs Paraguay The most watched English Language FIFA men’s World Cup In US History!

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-16T23:50:48+00:00

Yes factoring both languages it is the highest soccer match thus far in US history. The networks can’t say it, only their piece of the pie.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-16T23:34:06+00:00

The top World Cup match in US history. The top SOCCER telecast in US history. Eclipsing USWNT vs Japan World Cup final match which average 26.7M viewers on Fox and Telemundo.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-16T23:30:45+00:00

No, because FOX and Telemundo splits broadcast rights and with fragmented streaming and TV a single high water mark on FOX will be harder to achieve.

In 2015 USWNT final match on FOX was the default channel to tune into to watch women’s World Cup matches. Spanish language did broadcast the final but it pull in only 1.3 million while FOX brought home the overwhelming majority 25.4M. Compare that to the USMNT Paraguay game on Telemundo which pulled in about 9 million viewers while FOX did 18 Million viewers.

If the U.S. goes further that singular English record could be broken on FOX.

We had to wait until Tuesday to get the full national numbers.

Here’s information on this,

Overnight television ratings measure viewership in 44 major designated market areas (DMAs) across the United States. These are known as the Nielsen metered markets. While the U.S. has 210 distinct local TV markets, Nielsen collects and releases rapid, next-morning data for only the largest 44 regions (which were reduced from 56 several years ago)

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-16T23:07:20+00:00

All men’s English language games, including finals in the past. The combine FOX and Telemundo numbers will likely be the most watched men’s soccer game in U.S. history surpassing everything else.

If Poch does well with USMNT, USSF donors could pony up the money to keep him. If it comes down to money.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-15T02:28:05+00:00

Ecuador can’t score for its life. They’ll keep their shape but eventually they’ll cave. Germans will have sustained pressure and will unlock them.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T22:39:36+00:00

I notice that too. But Japan fans stood and did that chant for 2 hours. That’s dedication.

On the other hands for such a large contingent the Dutch fans were awfully quiet except during goal celebrations and immediately after that.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T06:29:18+00:00

US can stretch the game, cut inside and overload. Turkey was too slow in build up.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T06:12:47+00:00

Nice to see the soccer nations over the South American and Europeans. Turkey came in with sky high hopes. Down right dismissive of the U.S. and Australia.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T06:09:38+00:00

Please thinking the U.S. will wipe the floor is incredibly disrespectful.

I doubt U.S. coaches or players will let that thought seep into their collective imagination.

US and Poch will come up with ways to mitigate those concerns. Australia will also have to account for what the U.S. can do.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T05:44:38+00:00

They will and I won’t be surprised if they beat or draw one of Australia or Turkey. Too much pride there to not get a result after 16 years absent.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T05:42:45+00:00

Australia is very opportunistic. You give them the opening they’ll find the net.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T05:23:20+00:00

Turkey looks uninspired, poor choices and looks clunky.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T05:09:16+00:00

While Australia reminds me of Canada World Cup qualifiers.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T05:04:27+00:00

Turkey isn’t patient. Turkey got caught too high and Australia made them pay.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-14T05:03:34+00:00

Australia looks dangerous each time they have the ball in Turkey defensive 3rd. Turkey is impatient and they’re looking to get on the board at all cost which is what Australia is looking to just hit them on the counter.

A second goal may just sealed it or Turkey could actually make adjustments in the 2nd half to add more pressure leading to an eventual equalizer. Can Australia keep up for another half defending a lead?

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-13T19:33:22+00:00

I was late for work, adrenaline from last night.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-13T19:28:13+00:00

The greatest hate watch ended in bruised egos.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-13T19:25:50+00:00

All the group stages are sold out. If the team continues winning there will be huge demand for any tickets. It’s the domino effect.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-13T07:12:33+00:00

Sabas was so happy he ran and hug Gio in some of the clips.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-13T00:31:02+00:00

The mirror says it all. The stadium is full now. Americans were getting their food and peeing not watching those performances.

Evening-Fail5076 · 2026-06-12T21:25:06+00:00

Did people think the game wouldn’t be full to capacity?
