The figure - 37.8% of the available audience - breaks the previous record of 4m viewers for England's Euro 2017 semi-final against the Netherlands.

Forget Prom: High School Students Buzzing About Women’s World Cup

ALLENDALE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – The Women’s World Cup began Friday.

The overwhelming favorite to win is the same team that celebrated four years ago: Team USA.

The tournament is expected to attract 1 billion viewers worldwide, and the biggest audience might be high schoolers.

Senior prom is Friday night at Northern Highlands High School, but the talk in the halls is about the Women’s World Cup, CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reported.

“Will you guys be huddled around the TV, watching?” Overmyer asked.

“Oh my gosh, definitely we will be. I’m sure we’ll have all U.S. gear on! American flags everywhere, cheering for them,” said Northern Highlands senior Olivia Holman.
