So,for the very few who don't have ITV 4 SD and don't want to watch England but rather watch the other game they switch the channels. Come on that would never happen particular given the advertising already booked.

Simple question
What will be the most watched game in the 3rd set of fixtures ? England v Cotsa Rica, obviously. So why would a commercial TV station not want to show it on their main channel ? Also, one thing to consider is that England games HAVE to be on FTA tv available to all. It is a total no brainer. I for one, will be watching England. |

I'm completely lost as to what's on where r/e red buttons (HELP when the Commonwealths come along...hockey HAS to be in HD otherwise I can't see the ball) but I'm presuming (for the W/C and Commonwealths) everything will be on the BBC app.

I know we are in England, but really the Uruguay - Italy game should be the main game shown - not the England one.
England are already out and Costa Rica already through. All to play for in the other game |

It should be, I agree I will be watching the Uruguay-Italy game. From England's perspective the match against Costa Rica is completely meaningless, I don't really see what the point in watching that game would be. I think most casual fans have lost interest now that they know England can't qualify.
ITV are not a sports channel relying on subscriptions. They are a commercial business relying on advertisers. Advertisers who will pay more for England on ITV 1 than Uruguay on ITV4. It isn't difficult. |

Why in this day and age should it matter if a match is on ITV 1 or ITV 4??
How much harder to press is 103/178, than say 120?? Both require three button presses. The same goes for matches on BBC 1 or BBC 3 (141/101 or 115 or even 981)??? Again three presses of a button, I don't really understand how it is that much harder to press one set of three digits than another set of three digits. Would it really matter if the England match was on ITV 4 rather than ITV 1?? It still is as hard to get from one channel to the other. Only 10 million have Sky and not all of those will be watching football. |
