Fox drew 6.12 million viewers for Friday's match, and peaked at 8.24 million. The game was the most-watched English-language soccer telecast in the country since last year's men's World Cup final.

In addition, the match averaged 211,000 viewers online, making it the most-streamed Women's World Cup game ever.

The U.S. 2015 quarterfinal win over Chile -- which aired in prime time -- averaged 5.74 million.

The Americans will face England in the semifinals Tuesday.
