Entry #91: June 19, 7:30 p.m. (1:30 p.m. ET)
Wow. The ratings are in for USA-Italy and they are pretty great. On ABC the match earned a 5.2 overnight Nielsen rating, the highest overnight rating for a World Cup game on ABC since the 1998 final between Brazil and France (which earned a 7.0). Univision did a 13.5 NHTI (Nielsen Hispanic Television Index) household rating for the match, translating to 1,511,000 Hispanic TV homes. Overall, there were 2,661,000 Hispanic viewers, making it the fourth most-watched game of this tournament. Since they announced the exact tournament schedule earlier this year, we've been thinking that USA-Italy, on a Saturday, at 3 p.m. ET, on ABC, would be huge. We were right. Fantastic stuff.

Bet the NHL ratings will pale in comparison.
