Italy's World Cup campaign continued last Saturday with a 1-1 draw against the USA. Although this result was seen as a slight disappointment for the Italians it still puts them at the top of Group E before the showdown clash with the Czech Republic later this week.
The game was broadcast by Rai 1 in Italy and the channel enjoyed huge ratings for what was one of the most exciting matches in the tournament. 19.3m people (representing a 71% share for Rai 1) tuned in to be entertained by 2 goals (including an own goal by Italy's Zaccardo), 3 red cards, a disallowed USA goal and numerous other incidents to keep the 'armchair pundits' talking.
