The most interesting thing, to me, about American viewership of the World Cup this year is that the most watched game was actually the final, which really surprised me since the American team had been out of it for a while. It seems like people who watched the American team play actually liked the game and then came back to watch the final, even though their team wasn't in it. That is an encouraging sign.
