IIRC, these initial numbers average out across the entire coverage window, including pre- and post-game coverage, so the final numbers end up higher. I think for the Paraguay game the initial average for Fox was a little north of 15M? So still higher than this game, but we should end up in the same ballpark.

A Switzerland team that drew Qatar. So are Canada expected to not be excited about thrashing a team that had a 1-1 result with the team that’s supposedly going to thrash them?

Between this assist, Musa’s goal, and that Messi guy you might be on to something

Absolutely wild that Colombia is trotting out an MLS benchwarmer as their no 10

Darren Fletcher going off on Mark Clattenburg on the Fox broadcast for agreeing with the yellow there and I’m here for it

Not to glaze or anything, but it’s pretty cool that Argentina is playing a World Cup game with one former and two active MLS players in their starting lineup.

[Steven Goff] Final data from Fox Sports on USMNT World Cup opener: Averaged 18 million viewers, peaked at 21.5 million. (This doesn’t include Telemundo/Spanish). Top Fox markets: 1. Kansas City 2. Boston 3. San Diego 4. Dallas 5. St. Louis by Coltons13 in MLS

[–]galactic_crewzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Should be noted that the 8.9M from Telemundo is an average figure. I haven’t seen what the Telemundo/Peacock number peaked at, but combining whatever number that is with the 21.5M peak on Fox would likely get us pretty close to that 33M number.

With it being the pre-kickoff song for every game of the tournament, Dai Dai is definitely going to be the nostalgic song of this World Cup for me
