There is a good chance that viewership will set a new record, but a lot depends on big market teams going deep into the knockout rounds. On paper, the real championship game may well come in the likely U.S.-France match in the semifinals. If the U.S. goes out early, viewship will take a hit. And France could do it. They’ve beaten the U.S. in two of the last three meetings. Neither game was a good indicator because Jill Ellis was experimenting with new players, positions and lineups, and the U.S. didn’t have it’s best team on the field. But France is flat out good and will be playing at home. I see that game as a coin flip. I just hope it doesn’t come down to penalties.
I hate autocorrect.
Let’s hope for a France trainwreck today then.
Small chance of that though.
There could be injuries (I went there).
