While they didn\u2019t reach the record-setting heights of matches involving co-hosts Mexico and the United States in the previous round, any fears of viewers abandoning the World Cup after the hosts (including Canada, also out in the round of 16) were eliminated were unfounded.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3620\">Paramount Taps Almost Friday\u2019s Tyler Falbo for R-Rated Comedy \u2018Boys for Life\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tSaturday\u2019s match between England and Norway led the quarterfinals with 21.8 million viewers on Fox, based on final same-day Nielsen ratings. Argentina\u2019s victory over Switzerland in the nightcap brought in 18.15 million. On Thurday, France\u2019s win over Morocco delivered 10.25 million viewers in final numbers. Spain\u2019s win over Belgium on Friday drew the smallest audience of the four with 9.87 million.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAll four of those matches\u00a0topped the previous English-language high for a World Cup quarterfinal in the United States. France\u2019s win over England in the 2022 World Cup delivered 8.86 million viewers for Fox on a Saturday in December. Recent changes to Nielsen\u2019s measurement, including more complete out of home ratings and the big data element, have tended to benefit live sports, but the England\/Norway and Argentina\/Switzerland matches, at least, are far beyond the marginal gains those changes would have added to prior years\u2019 numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3619\">Kit Connor and Joe Locke Lead the Cast of \u2018Heartstopper Forever\u2019 at Feel-Good World Premiere<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tRatings for Telemundo and Peacock\u2018s Spanish-language telecasts of the quarterfinals weren\u2019t available at publication time.
