    A brilliant promo for The Great British Bake Off just now during Match of the Day. Fantastic cross-promotional opportunity for the show during a high profile England game. The promo said it's starting in the summer.

    Lots of criticism of that on social media :D

    Tad shameless and opportunist.

    What next, the Doctor and Clara cheering on the boys in the TARDIS? :blush:

    Doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know, probably just starting in August like the previous series. Week after Commonwealth Games maybe? (Edit: Actually, that might be a week or two too early.)

    If that had been an XF promo Samuel would have demanded a full ofcom inquiry

    It's like The Olympics again. BBC1 using it to promote upcoming programmes.

    I'm willing to give him a chance. Early days for him but he's not a Gary Neville.

    He does fit well in with BBC vanilla style of coverage. Harmless controversy free bland talking head

    If it stays like this ITV will have potentially two cliff hanger games to showcase.

    Yeah he's not improved. Very strange decision and by the BBC. No doubt a big audience will question what the hell the thinking was giving him the big game

    The content isn't bad, the delivery is just mind numbing. Nerves or not, plenty of BBC talent about. I almost miss Lawro

    ITV will be delighted with this outcome

    I imagine the audience has dropped by a good few million in the past half hour or so. Paint drying might be more rewarding.

    He wasn't.

    Winner takes all when those 2 sides meet in their next game in Sao Paulo

    England Uruguay is in Sao Paulo. Italy Costa Rica isn't
