Posted by SMAZ on Mon Jul 6 17:04:05 2015 Women's World Cup Final Draws Over 21 Million Viewers, Besting 1999 Final By Jason Lisk - The Big Lead The 1999 Women’s World Cup Final was a seminal event for soccer in this country. It had drama as the scoreless match went to penalty kicks, culminating in Brandi Chastain’s celebration. Last night’s final didn’t have the end-of-game drama, but it did have early fireworks and anticipation of the USWNT’s long-awaited return to the title. According to Sports TV Ratings, the overnight rating was a record-breaking 15.2. The 2011 Final (also against Japan) had an 8.6 rating, and the 1999 Final was 13.3. That 15.2, according to Douglas Pucci, translates to between 21 and 23.5 million viewers who tuned in to an exciting match that featured early fireworks. |
