Swansea City are kings of soccer in the US!
The Daily Mail says the South Wales derby between Swansea and Cardiff was the most watched game on American TV last season.
American broadcasters NBC paid £148million ($250million) to broadcast every Premier League game live in the United States and the Swans 3-0 win over the Bluebirds on February 8 attracted 1.24million viewers.
Wayne Routledge, Nathan Dyer and Wilfried Bony all scored in the win that marked Garry Monk's first game in charge of the Swans following Michael Laudrup's sacking.
Manchester United's 2-0 win over Swansea in January was the second most watched by 1.10 million.
Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Liverpool on April 27 averaged 940,000 viewers and ranks as the most-watched early (pre-10 a.m. Eastern Time kick-off) Premier League match ever in the USA.
