- A throng of soccer fans, office workers and curious tourists crowded into New York’s Times Square on Friday afternoon to watch a giant screen show the United States defeat France in one of the hottest matches in the history of the women’s World Cup.
The crowd that filled the square, best known for its annual New Year’s Eve celebration, watched the Fox Sports broadcast on the largest TV display in the world, mounted on a skyscraper at the head of the so-called Crossroads of the World. “I am a huge soccer fan,” said the 20-year-old student from Connecticut. “The talent that the women’s team has displayed - everything they do both on and off the field - is what a lot of Americans want to see; it’s inspiring.”
“We want to give it absolute big-game treatment,” said David Neal, executive producer of Fox Sport’s FIFA World Cup broadcast.
