Friday’s matches on ESPN did just okay ratings. Nothing spectacular for 2014 (the three matches ranking #17, #18 and #20 out of 26 through Friday) but still better than 2010. The ratings you all really want to see (the demographics from Sunday’s USA match versus Portugal) will be available early tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.
If you are looking for an earlier match not listed in today’s Top 10, please visit earlier versions of WORLD CUP SKEDBALL. And at the end of the Group Stage round, we will publish the entire ranking of matches.
