"World Cup Beating Stanley Cup

Although there has been much debate in recent years
over whether Americans have much interest in soccer,
one thing has certainly emerged from the TV ratings
over the past week: they're more interested in soccer
than they are in ice hockey. According to Nielsen
Research, Spanish-language Univision has been
averaging 2.3 million per World Cup telecast while ABC and ESPN2 have
averaged 2 million -- a total of 4.3 million. By contrast, Monday's Game 4
of the Stanley Cup playoffs on NBC drew 3.1 million total viewers, despite
airing in primetime. Wednesday's Game 5 improved to 3.8 million viewers but
still failed to beat the totals for the World Cup."
