More Americans tuned in to watch the US World Cup team tie a heavily favored England on Friday than any other men’s soccer match in history, according to Fox Corp.
Fox Sports drew a television audience of nearly 15.4 million people for the game, which ended without either team scoring. That’s 6% more than the previous high of 14.5 million for the World Cup final featuring Italy and Brazil in 1994, the company said.
