18 Million people watched the last England game on BBC One, 3 million watched live on iplayer. That's the most number of viewers for anything since the 2012 olympics. 1 in 3 people in the UK was glued to their screen watching, and that was the first round. Tomorrows quarter final I'm sure will be even higher. This world cup is major news for the UK - even for those like me that don't watch football. My understanding is that the BBC coverage is better than ITVs too. (BTW, the BBC's facilities in Moscow are dwarfed by Fox Sports, and the U.S. isn't even in the competition!) This is the bbc news page I see. World Cup is below the fold: http://imgur.com/c2mkpAkl.png http://imgur.com/c2mkpAkl.png
