@NTA while I don't doubt the interest for the nation, how the fuck would they know? The methodology for ratings is clearly bullshit (to me).
yeah, i'll take it with a grain of salt, but i do know EVERYONE i talked to yesterday was going to watch, even if only casual interest, was pretty amazing

Does it really matter what the actual figure was? The game was clearly huge in Oz. There were two separate watching parties amongst my group of friends, plus I live near a fanhub and it was madness last night. But as both the above posts note who knows what's true regarding ratings.
I have no interest in soccer (mens or womens) so haven't watched a game but the WC has been pretty massive in both Oz and NZ (for the brief time I was there and the two places I visited).
But I will say I'm looking forward to it being over in grumpy old man fashion, there are too many people on my usual walking routes - including the Matildas and a bunch of photographers yesterday.

Yes it does for some, so they can always point to it being bigger than any AFL or NRL grand final, Cathy Freeman 400m, OZ open etc.

Pointless things in football
- Players raising their arms to « help » the touch judge choose the right side for the throw in.

@Billy-Tell You mean like rugby players always try to tell the ref that they have really scored a try?
