Itv's coverage of England was hilarious and lame!

I take your point but it's widely regarded to be a gaffe.

I expect a certain level of unprofessionalism from itv, but they outdid themselves this time. Fifty minutes of England build up on a different channel supposed to be focusing on another match, and not even showing the goals from the other kick offs as they went in, something BBC had no trouble with, pushed it further.

(Spell checker put seldom instead of seldom)”

It was a gaffe because it was a hugely stupid thing to say.

I don't know why Radio 5 Live and TalkSPORT can't divide up the games between them like BBC and ITV, at least in the final group games when two games are on at once. I think in every final group set of games the same match has been on both Radio 5 Live and TalkSPORT.

Agreed, and they can rotate who gets first pick of each pair.
