In 2002, nearly everyone who actually liked soccer watched the games (in the U.S.) on Univision. ABC sucked. If you want an accurate number . . . .

Fair enough. I'll throw in the Univision numbers (though some on here would say that illegal aliens watching shouldn't count as Americans). It still comes in at a low percentage. Like all championship events (especially the Super Bowl and the Olympics, not so much the World Series) some of the viewers aren't really fans of the game, but are interested in the outcome for other reasons (ethnic heritage, hometown pride, bandwagon effect). Even so, my 90%+ number is holding up well.

Univision, the popular Spanish-language broadcaster said its ratings tripled from the previous World Cup, with the Mexico/Iran match being watched by 5.4 million households, making it the most watched sporting event in Spanish-language television history.

Great, so I'm an illegal alien because I watch soccer on Univision.
