The 1-1 draw between the U.S. and England on the opening weekend of the tournament averaged 2.275 million, the highest Canadian audience ever for a preliminary-round World Cup game, according to CBC.<br /><br />But a new ratings system was introduced in September which has seen sports ratings skyrocket in Canada so comparing the numbers is difficult.<br /><br />Games in the preliminary round mostly averaged between 500,000 and just over a million viewers.<br /><br />Ghana's 2-1 extra-time win over the U.S. on Saturday attracted 2.116 million viewers while Argentina's 3-1 victory over Mexico Sunday afternoon averaged 1.993 million.<br /><br />Uruguay's 2-1 win over South Korea was the lowest-rated game of the weekend with 1.453 million viewers.<br /><br />The marquee matchup between Portugal and Brazil on Friday had an average audience of 1.119 million.<br /><br />Hockey still rules in Canada, with the highest-rated game of the recent Stanley Cup final drawing an average audience of 4.077 million. The Olympic hockey final in Vancouver drew a whopping 10.6 million viewers to CTV.gbvhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239671995333340850.post-26504484685188249532010-06-29T11:26:07.314-04:002010-06-29T11:26:07.314-04:00Favourite piece of World Cup commentary so far:

There are non-soccer people everywhere talking about the games and the controversial calls. Had the "right" calls been made, it would have been just another day at the office.gbvhnoreply@blogger.com
