TV Report: Solid audience for USA-Guatemala on ESPN2

• by Paul Kennedy  @pkedit, Mar 30, 2016

Tuesday's USA-Guatemala match averaged 954,000 viewers on ESPN2, more than the combined viewers for the first three U.S. World Cup 2018 qualifiers on English-language television.

The 954,000 viewers were more than the 902,000 viewers for the USA-Jamaica game four years ago with similar stakes. That game was on ESPN, which generally draws more viewers than ESPN2.
