Which channel is covering in NZ? Is it more popular than cricket? :-)

Sky Sports 6, and Sky GO, totally dedicated to the World Cup 24/7, TVNZ 1 for higher ranking team matches, TVNZ On Demand and The Football Channel. And yes it's more popular than the cricket...But, naturally not as popular as Rugby.

:angry: Ergh...everytime Sky TV lose the link or got nothing to talk about, they just put the offical song on rotation and show highlight clips...just had one on a 7min stretch. We don't have pre and post match commentary studios and since NZ not there, just the straight game commentary.

2014 World Cup viewership up 26% versus 2010, up 116% versus 2006

http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/2014-world-cup-viewership-up-26-versus-2010-up-116-versus-2006.html

2014 is by far the most popular tournament ever...gonna be such a letdown in 2018. I just simply cannot see the same atmosphere replicated as it has been in Brazil.

The most tweeted game by far on Monday was the USA's 2-2 draw against Portugal, which sparked nearly eight million tweets. (7,997, 121 if you want to be precise.)

Random joke alert!

What's the difference between the England team and a tea bag? The bag stays in the cup longer...

Tricky morning watching two screens but totally worth it, will be doing it again shortly.

Lula dancing worth the view =P

Just to clarify, Lula does not have beard anymore, but a mustache, because the cancer he suffered.

That 24.7 million viewers for the US-Portugal match just blows my mind. I remember what it was like back in the 1980s when the idea of an entire WC being shown on American TV was a laughable notion. Maybe a handful of games from a WC would be shown, but that was it. In fact there were ZERO soccer games shown on American network TV between the 1986 WC final on NBC and a US-Germany game in 1993 on ABC. (The 1990 WC was shown on cable network TNT). Then came 1994 and the opportunity to indeed watch the entire WC (as has been the case ever since) and slowly America started to notice this supposedly foreign game although growth was slow, but over twenty years interest in the event just exploded to the point where at least certain games do pull in that type of TV ratings which was just shy of the last college football championship and only a few million short of an average regular season NFL game, that is incredible given how entrenched that sport is in our society. Yes ratings for non WC games may remain modest, but at least the World Cup has reached the level of a premier sporting event in the USA. That will allow me to die a happy man.
