And another World Cup half ends with France not scoring.
They haven't scored since 1998.
Meanwhile, Switzerland has NEVER shutout an opponent in the World Cup -- not in 22 matches.
Nice Swiss chicks BTW.
ABC's broadcast of three matches Friday through Sunday delivered an average rating of 2.8, with about 2.8 percent of U.S. homes in the top 56 markets watching. That compared with an average rating of 1.7 for two matches broadcast during the 2002 opening weekend.
Univision said its first eight games were watched by an average of 2.6 million viewers, 1.7 million more than the average of the 2002 tournament's opening weekend audience.
The 2006 matches broadcast by ABC were England vs. Paraguay, Mexico vs. Iran and Trinidad & Tobago vs. Sweden. In 2002, the network broadcast two matches on opening weekend -- Ireland vs. Cameroon and Sweden vs. England.
Univision, which plans live broadcasts of 56 of the tournament's 64 games, said the Mexico-Iran match-up scored 5.4 million viewers, making it the most watched sporting event in Spanish-language TV history.
