most watched soccer telecast in U.S. history

The United States game against Belgium in the round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup set another record as the most-watched soccer telecast in U.S. history, Fox said after preliminary ratings came out Tuesday.  Fox said 30 million people watched the game, a 4-1 victory for Belgium on Monday in Seattle that moved them into the quarterfinals and eliminated the last of the tournament’s three co-hosts.  Fox said the audience peaked at more than 36.8 million people between 9:15 and 9:30 p.m. ET.  That topped the previous mark, the U.S.-Bosnia-Herzegovina game last week that Fox said was watched by 26.4 million.
