\n\t\t\t\t\tHeartbreak for Socceroos on Saturday and how to interpret the biggest audience of the week.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The biggest audience last week was early on Saturday morning in the FIFA World Cup but as it dragged on the numbers need some context.<\/p>\n

While OzTAM tracks the Australia v Egypt match as averaging 1.95m, the Post Match (which was actually more play) is tallied at 2.25m.<\/p>\n

As the match dragged on a penalty shootout edged into the scheduled time for a Wogball doco. It\u2019s a rare time where Reach is a good indication of how many would have really been watching when the Socceroos lost to Egypt: 3.21m.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere Seven News led at 1.57m while Home & Away topped entertainment at 1.03m.<\/p>\n
