The Super Bowl had an estimated 111.5 million viewers, yes? Though viewership is not out for the 2014 World Cup (obviously), Nielsen reported that the 2010 World Cup had an estimated 111.6 million viewers in the United States. That's a 22% increase from the 2006 World Cup, which was estimated to have 91.4 million viewers in the United States.
Is it total viewership during the whole tournament?
If so, that is comparing apples to oranges.

99.2 million viewers through the Round of 16 and the advanced stages picked up an extra 12.4 million viewers domestically.
It is an apples to oranges comparison, though. It is difficult to determine if one is 'more impressive' than the other. Personally, I don't find one to be more impressive than the other. The Super Bowl is a single game and the World Cup is a tournament in which the United States is playing just once every five days or so.
