BREAKING: The USMNT's win against Bosnia-Herzegovina averaged 24.4 million viewers on Fox, peaking at 31.8 million.
That makes it the most-watched soccer telecast in English-language U.S. history.
Just talked to a volunteer, Tristan Chang, who witnessed Joaquin Niemann’s club throw that cost him a two-shot penalty:
-After hitting two balls OB, Niemann tried to get free relief from fire ants (to no avail) from where his third drive ended up in the fescue
-Got visibly angry and kicked the white flag that another volunteer used to mark his ball
-Continued to kick around the sand
-Proceeded to chuck his iron from the fescue area approximately 50 yards to the very edge of the course on the right
-Almost did not walk back for the club until a police officer delivered it to him
“Pretty impressive throw,” Chang said.
Get a drummer. Get a flute guy. Have them play this and BANG! we got a banger. I’m not even a lyricist and I can’t care a tune in a bucket but I just invented a better song than any American soccer fan has created in 250 years.
@StevePoliti Here’s how it was for $20 round trip shuttle:
-50 min line to get on bus (was shaded and line was moving)
-50 min bus ride to MetLife
Pretty easy getting back after game…~1hr15 from MetLife to Fidi
@burner_beto@StevePoliti They didn’t check anyone’s time slots when we got here. I had no idea if the people behind me in line had purchased the same time slot or they were a different one. Maybe that could change by Tuesday but I’d just try and get to buses 3 hours before kickoff
