The match averaged 3.31 million TV viewers on Fox Sports 1, more than three times the audience for the 2011 Women’s World Cup opener (via SportsTVRatings) and 31,148 fans attended Winnipeg Stadium to watch in-person. Many of those supporters were reppin’ the Stars and Stripes and took to social media to show their encouragement for the WNT.
