The World Cup came to a close Sunday, with Spain dethroning defending champion Argentina, 1-0. And our lives are now that much more drab and empty now that it’s gone.
The tournament was undeniably a hit, regularly drawing record television audiences. In the title game alone, an estimated 38.9 million viewers tuned in to watch on Fox, with another 23.9 million watching on Telemundo, making it a record-setting U.S. soccer broadcast in both English and Spanish.
While the World Cup was a wonderful ride that will be missed, we’ll extend the joy just a little bit longer with a couple of questions in this week’s quiz. So enjoy the last hurrah.
