US-Ghana sets viewing records for men's World Cup

JOHANNESBURG (AP) - June 27, 2010

The Nielsen Co. said Saturday afternoon's game was seen by an estimated 14.9 million viewers on ABC. An additional 4.5 million people watched on the Spanish-language Univision.

Nielsen said only the 1999 Women's World Cup final, featuring the United States and China and played at the Rose Bowl, had more viewers for a soccer game on an English-language network in the U.S. That game averaged just under 18 million viewers.
