For Mexico v South Africa World Cup opener, final numbers from Spanish-language audience was 13.4 million viewers across Telemundo, Peacock & digital platforms. (Linear averaged 7.6 million, peaking at 9.3m.)
With Fox Sports' 7.1 m included, total viewership: 20.5 million.
I didn't think it was possible, but the 'level of MLS' discourse in England will be set back three more years...

I've been doing this long enough to sort of 'referee' lots of fan divisions in my comments. US/Mexico, América/Chivas, Argentina/England, whatever.
Nothing has prepared me for Algeria/Morocco popping off in my IG comments because I posted an Algeria fan falling over in Kansas City.
Argentina's manager, Leo Messi's teammates & Albiceleste fans all say they're calm ahead of the World Cup opener.
But it's impossible to ignore the pressure that comes from the desire to send out Messi with one more world championship.

Haiti insider Caleb Jephte reports that Duckens Nazon didn't play in Les Grenadiers' opener because of a hamstring issue, & while staff calls it precautionary we'll have to see if the forward is able to play Friday v. Brazil or in the final group match v. Morocco.
