According the the New York Times, 16.9 million American viewers (11.9 million on ABC and 5 million on Univision) saw the 2006 World Cup final between France and Italy. For the 2006 Super Bowl between Pittsburgh and Seattle (Super Bowl XL), 91 million were watching. The 16.9 million was the second highest total viewers for a World Cup final in the US, exceeded only by the 17.9 million that watched the US women defeat China in the Women's World Cup final in 1999.
