The television numbers are in from the US national team's huge 2-1 victory over Ghana.

The match registered a 7.0 overnight rating on ESPN, good for second-highest rating for a group-stage match on record in the United States and the highest-ever rating for a men's soccer match broadcast on ESPN. And that's not counting the 1.4 million who watched via WatchESPN, the largest such audience.

The No. 1 match of all-time? USA vs. England in 2010, which got a 7.5 overnight rating. However, that game was on network TV (ABC) and it aired on a Saturday.

Let's not forget the numbers on Univision either, as there was an average of 3.8 million tuning in on Spanish-language television.

Here are some notable comparisons:

The match was ESPN's highest-rated and most-viewed telecast since the BCS National Championsip coverage on Jan. 6.

The combined World Cup ratings for ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC, an average rating of 2.5 and more than 4.1 million viewers through the first 14 matches, marks a nearly 20-percent ratings increase over the 2010 tournament.

The 2014 tournament has already delivered ESPN and ESPN2's four highest-rated and most-viewed group play matches not involving a United States team.

Anybody talking about the average 3.7m viewers for WC on ESPN needs to include the average 3.8m on Univision to get total U.S. audience. — Grant Surridge (@SCGGrant) June 17, 2014

It wasn't just on TV that the ratings were astounding. On Twitter, the numbers were through the roof.
