The report is not accurate because there were litteraly millions of people all over Europe watching in Bars and public parks. In Barcelona there were hunderts of thousand of people out watching in public areas.
If you think that this numbers are impressive, I remember a report about a Euro 2008 game with Germany that got like 70% rating in Germany.

Don’t forget in the UK sh*tloads of people would have watched it in the pub and those numbers wouldn’t get included in the ratings.

I’m italian and almost 10M here it’s like “UNBELIEVABLE”.

But soccer it’s our primary sport, so no surprise here.

The rating for the football really isnt that good compared to every other day on ITV1 this week… Each night a a semi-final if Britians Got Talent has go around 12 million viewers, i would expect around 15m for the final

Also the Apperentice had nearly 7m viewers agains the football which is not much less then it usually gets!
