    It was definitely yellow on my screen instead of the blue. Must have only affected some areas.
    ITV hd in London.

    The caption would have appeared on the screen more than once (obviously).

    So, it is quite possible that the screengrab presented here was a corrected version that appeared later than erroneous flag you seen.

    34.1m fans tuned in for #CIVJPN on NHK, the biggest TV sports audience of the year in Japan.

    Worst game so far without a doubt, but will still get 5 Million + viewers.

    Iran vs Nigeria did indeed get 5 Million viewers, good figure for a boring, low quality game. it will probably go down, as the worst game of the tournament.

    Couple of points

    1) The guests are only named once during a show
    2) The graphic, wrong or not would not be corrected for a rerun
    3) Here is Patrick checking out his flag, he seems happy with it:

    They don't re-caption at half-time or full-time?

    I didn't realise that, I suppose it's something I never paid attention to - thanks for the info.

    The BBC Radio 5 Live Commentary seems to be much better then the TV commentary this year.

    It shows you how big the TV voting scandal a few years ago was that something as simple as the free ITV Twitter poll still has to be accompanied by verbal warnings and three lines of T&Cs about not voting after the poll has closed.

    Could have put the actual percentages up, though.

    Like the guys down the pub last night said.."You don't play football..you play soccer"
    Also..Does this Adrian Chiles guy piss anybody else off?

    Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but that chip on the window behind Andros is unbelievably obvious.

    They usually manage to frame them out well, but today it is blatantly in the middle of the screen.

    ITV getting slated on Twitter as per usual for not replacing the window by now. The fact it might not actually be ITV's window might be an issue, not to mention the logistics when there are other broadcasters all round them.

    I think we all have to remember that people in general have no idea about broadcasting/pundits etc.

    No one will know about the IBC or the logistics of broadcasting

    People I know haven't even realised that ITV/BBC have a similar view!

    Yes, at the International Broadcasting Centre. In the past, the BBC have used their own studios but budget won't allow that now
