USA-Japan Draws Over 21 Million Viewers

The numbers for USA vs. Japan in the Women’s World Cup continue to come in and they continue to amaze. This from the Sports TV Ratings account:

So if the numbers hold, that smashes the record for the 1999 Women’s World Cup Final on ABC (17.3 million viewers). Fox has to be celebrating with 20.35 million viewers and NBC also has to be like the 1 million Hispanic viewership, although one wonders how high it would have been if Univision still had the World Cup contract.
