Women's World Cup Championship gets big ratings

Over night ratings are in for the Women's World Cup Championship and the ratings are impressive.  According to USA Today, the over night rating was a whopping 8.6, meaning that in the top 56 urban TV markets, 8.6% of the TV's had their TV's on ESPN for the match.  Yesterday's match was the second most watched women's soccer match of all time, the 1999 Women's World Cup Championship being the most watched.

Exact numbers for total viewership has yet to be determined, but not only was yesterday's game a hit with TV viewers, it was a hit on Twitter as well.
