    WOW at the football.

    I fancied Germany before the match but this -- ? :eek:

    All over already. Extraordinarily poor defending by Brazil to blame.

    Gobsmacking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Laughable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Its become an entirely different story-but its reached a point where it may well retain its audience because of it. Totally unbelievable.

    It's debateable if people turn matches off half way through anyway, only one person usually suggests that whenever a game is on ITV.

    Comments on the game are everywhere - the ratings will be huge I think.

    Well when it's 2-0 or 3-0, its just a typical match that can turn on its head, but as soon as you get to 4-0 and 5-0, there is a different draw that brings viewers in.

    Even if there are no more goals, the audience will stay high just to watch Brazil crash out - I think. But I'd be surprised if it ended 5-0...

    I think a peak of 12-13 million, it's all over my Facebook and Twitter has exploded. Not that social media is an indicator of ratings of course :p

    Brazil getting an absolute thrashing :o I can't believe what am seeing.
    Think the Beeb have picked the right game -- where's Samuel when you need him? :p

    This is probably the biggest shock in the WC since...I can't even remember. Ever? Maybe when Senegal beat France, but that was a group game.

    No one likes to see a thrashing; spectacle is lost -- but it's the hosts. Should pull in a good audience.

    BBC did have first pick, and like ITV's first pick in the Quarters, they pick Brazil.

    Of course, ITV now get another Brazil game on Saturday

    Not a fan of football much but went on iPlayer to rewind to see the goals. Seems everyone is talking about the game tonight.

    Almost as embarrassing as Brazil's defence. If ITV did that for Corrie or Good Morning Britain...

    It's just shocking isn't it. I was taking the piss with my m8s saying the way it's going they could end up getting another 4 goals within minutes. I never thought it would actually happen. On the plus side he now owes me £20 :D

    No brainer to have Brazil as first pick. Tournament hosts, haven't set the competition alight, bound to have an off day.

    Tomorrow's game should be much tighter and it wouldn't surprise me if we get penalties.

    Actually no, I've never seen a football related Corrie advert shoehorned in like that. It was just cringeworthy.

    No, I've never seen Adrian Chiles link straight into a specially made ITV promo in the middle of the coverage.

    It's getting slated on Twitter, the football audience generally doesn't take to a promo for EastEnders, the audiences will mostly differ.

    The point was they still advertise there programs. So I don't see why the BBC shouldn't they where just a bit more clever and added a twist of football to their trailers.

    I don't believe that the BBC should advertise at all during programmes.

    He's no longer on here, but whoever showed the match, even some minnow like BBC Four, it still can't take away what's happening. Samuel's gone, get over it.

    You need to remember its one law for ITV and another for BBC - of all the things to complain about in the middle of such sporting history. :o
