FIFA's U20 tournament in Span-lang leads our first full week without the top two leagues in the US - Liga MX and the Premier League.
------
Highlights/Lowlights:
• 456k tuned to watch the USMNT U20s lose to Uruguay in what's turned into a low-wattage U20 event on Telemundo and FS1/2.
• Only 99k tuned into the Eng-lang cast on FS2.
• MLS still sitting around 300k on FOX. It'll be interesting if MLS closes the deal on Messi in terms of what is shown on broadcast TV for MLS.
• The Concacaf Champions League ended last week with Leon topping a sloppy LAFC. TUDN's coverage topped FS1. It actually looks like fans tuned into the beginning (242k) on FS1 then dropped off the late-night ending (129k). Or they switched to TUDN for the game. Either way, there's very little interest in Eng-lang Liga MX v. MLS matches.
