I can't watch soccer on tv. Same with hockey.

And I live too far away from any actual soccer team to watch.

So whatever.

Its only mexicans and hipsters who watch it here; your graph reflects that.

Also, what are ESPNs ratings for the yuro cups?

nevermind, i see that now.

1.3 million americans? thats all? how many mexicans and euro expats live here? I expected it to be around 7 million or so- which is what a typical preseason football game gets.

good game kid.

mid afternoon weekday group stage soccer game between two euro teams with no american connection 10000 miles away gets 1.3 million american viewers. Not bad.

That's 1.3 million more viewers than any handegg game has gotten here.

Thats a retarded statement. No one gives a fuck about that. My ancestors are from England and I fucking hate the place and everyone there now. Why do you think my ancestors came over here and fought the redcoats?

I've never once in my life heard someone say something like "i'm gonna root for the germans because i have a german last name!"

no.

1 million households = mexicans and a few unwashed hipsters.

I don't know why this is surprising.

America has millions of people with European nationalities. Of course they are going to watch the fucking Euros.

If you ask 50 people what their nationality is, more than half will probably say some European country.

i would love if ESPN started playing European league matches....no American commentators though. I can't stand them. that game against Brazil where the US was getting dominated the American announcer had a boner over the US team the entire time and couldn't stop talking about them despite how shitty they were. can't have that

I think the only way to put soccer over the top in america is by going into the ghettoist of ghettos and giving black people a soccer ball instead of a basketball.
