On the opening weekend, Algeria-Slovenia (which started at 9AM on a Sunday) drew higher ratings than afternoon baseball on Fox the day before...which was Phillies-Red Sox.

USA-England had roughly the same ratings as the LA-Boston game did the same weekend, and that's in a finals matchup with about as huge of a profile as you can get...No Salt Lake Cities or Sacramentos dragging down the ratings.

so and event played every 4 years that we play maybe 4 games in outdrew a baseball game in the middle of a 162 game season and an nba game finals game which also occurs up to 7 times every year...

THATS SURPRISING AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

AND SO IT BEGINS

SOCCER IN AMERICA

Try that again. It wasn't a USA game that outdrew baseball, it was Algeria-Slovenia. At 9 AM. On a Sunday.

And you can spin it however you want, but outdrawing the NBA finals (especially THIS NBA finals) is a big deal.

Everything Syd and Harry Dunne said.

Research recently showed that BB players were the smartest of all athletics with Soccer second.

Football players far down the list!!!!!!!!

could you imagine Dwight Howard in goal for the United States - no one would ever score

No thanks. TIM Howard is one the best keepers in the world.
