22 MM U.S. viewers.

Not bad.

8 MM short of the Miami v. Indiana championship game

About a quarter of Super Bowl viewership.

About 1.5 BB worldwide viewership. That’s enormous! Too bad only 0.02% of the worldwide viewers actually have $ to spend on the sponsors’ products

Hope it’s never on again

I love the game, but it has flaws that affects its popularity. I’m in camp “fix it”. But if you prefer “we must protect this game at all cost” I respect that

But soccer has been a fringe sport in America for 60 years, and I see no reason to believe it won’t stay a fringe sport for 60 more without some revisions

Is the amount of money it spends on players.
