Perhaps there is an audience for soccer in America.
The Spain/Germany Euro 2008 final drew a 3.1 overnight on ABC Sunday afternoon, the third highest overnight of any sporting event on broadcast for the weekend.
There is no comparison to four years ago, when Euro 2004 matches aired on pay-per-view.
The 3.1 is the best for any soccer telecast in the United States since the Italy/France World Cup Final drew an 8.6 two years ago.
Meanwhile, ABC drew a 1.2 overnight for the Galaxy/United MLS match, which aired immediately before the Euro 2008 final. The 1.2 is the highest overnight for an MLS telecast on ABC since 2004, when the debut of Freddy Adu drew a 1.8.
