请阅读Passage2。完成第小题。Passage 2The World Cup has become the most streamed live sporting event the US has ever seen, as Americans tuned in to this year's tournament on their smart phones, tablets and computers in record numbers.A surge of US interest in football this year has also led to record television audiences for broadcasts on ESPN and Uni-vision, the Spanish-language network. The US team's loss on Tuesday to Belgium averaged a 9.6 overnight rating on ESPN, according to Nielsen, the highest for any World Cup match the network has broadcast.But a 50 per cent surge in live streaming compared with the previous record, set during the 2012 London Olympics, shows that the sport's appeal has grown particularly among younger, more digital, fans.

Its audiences have been the largest in cities with large Spanish-speaking populations, such as Miami, Los Angeles, Houston and New York.With most matches being shown during business hours, Americans are increasingly turning to their devices, such as smart phones, tablets and computers to keep up with the tournament. Fifa,football's governing body, said US fans make up 20 percent of its global digital audience and are spending more time on its website and apps than fans in Brazil, Germany, England and France combined.With different kind of electronic devices to watch World Cup, the number of audience becomes larger. The flood of demand caused some problems with ESPN's feeds, leading frustrated viewers to take to Twitter to complain about the match cutting out.
