No more world cup games until the quarters start late on Thursday night. Tennis from Wimbledon is on — Federer plays tonight on Seven. Last night was Seven’s night, and Nine and Ten did well in the demos. MasterChef managed 1.12 million viewers nationally; House Rules, 1.08 million. 

For the third time this week the World Cup has provided more drama than you’d see in a decade of Home and Away or Wentworth — a penalty shootout this morning between Colombia and England after extra time saw the Poms move into the quarters where they play Sweden.

In regional areas a clear win to Seven with the 6pm News on top again with 613,000 people, followed by Seven News/Today Tonight with 493,000, then House Rules with 412,000, Home and Away with 409,000 and The Chase Australia’s 5.30pm segment with 394,000.
