    You remind me of Trumps campaign manager who calls polls irrelevant but laters admits they are constantly doing their own polling(which shows Trump losing just like the other polls).

    Rapinoe is so irrelevant that AAA started a thread about her which now has almost 100 replies.

    Women's World Cup Smashes Global Ratings Records

    People worldwide in unprecedented numbers are tuning in to watch the soccer tournament as it enters its final week.

    As the Women's World Cup enters its final week, TV networks around the globe are already declaring victory.

    With this tournament setting ratings records — even ahead of the July 7 final in Paris — the 2019 World Cup appears to be marking the moment when the women's game has stopped being treated as an adjunct to the men’s event and is embraced as a premier showcase on its own.

    Massive television and digital audiences have tuned in to watch the first three weeks of live coverage, prompting organizer FIFA to forecast a total global audience of 1 billion viewers across all platforms by the time the final whistle blows on Sunday.

    Fox Sports, which has English-language rights to 2019 World Cup matches, recorded a peak of 8.24 million TV viewers for Friday's quarterfinal between Team USA and tournament hosts France, which ended in a thrilling 2-1 victory for the Stars and Stripes. It was the most-watched soccer match on English-language U.S. television since last summer’s men's World Cup final. The audience was up 7 percent from the U.S.-China quarterfinal in 2015 despite being played in a European time zone, which meant U.S. viewers had to tune in at 3 p.m. ET or noon on the West coast.

    On Fox streaming sources, the match drew an average minute audience of 211,000, making it the most-streamed Women's World Cup match of all time in the U.S. Across Fox's digital and social media platforms, World Cup content drew 13 million views and the FIFA Women's World Cup Now live feed on Twitter posted 1.05 million viewers, more than double the previous record.

    But women's soccer has been a big deal in the U.S. for some time now. The Stars and Stripes are the most successful team in the game, having won three previous World Cups (alongside four Olympic gold medals). A big American audience for this year's tournament was a given. What has really excited organizers, sponsors and fans are the huge TV audiences in territories that have previously proved indifferent to the women's game.


    Italy and Brazil, two soccer-mad nations, turned out in force to support their national sides. Brazil’s round-of-16 match against France was viewed by more than 35 million people on free-to-air network Globo TV, the largest domestic audience to watch a women’s soccer game anywhere in history. A further 10.6 million in France caught the game, making it the most-watched women's match of all time.

    More people are watching the WOMEN's WORLD CUP then most men sports.

  8. Well, ya can't please everyone. Wonder what the chief lesbo has to say about this?

    Le Monde, a left-leaning daily and of France’s newspapers of record, published an article by Stéphanie Le Bars lamenting the fact that a soccer team which has “become in the United States the symbol of the defence of sexual minorities and the equality of rights between men and women” is insufficiently diverse.

    The writer claims that, while the number of players who are “African-American or Métis… in proportion seems high”, in fact the “overwhelming majority of regular attendees are white players”, and appeared to suggest that this was inherently problematic.

  9. Was a great game and really like the BU AOC dancing around.

    Can go for a US sweep tonight if US men win Gold Cup against Mexico. I heard that if US wins Mexico will pay for it.

  10. The writer sounds like an ass waffle. They have to find something to complain about. About a billion people watched the entire World Cup and set records for TV viewers. The author should close her clam.
