Whatever channel the pub puts on but as usual the BBC will trounce ITV in the ratings.
Not that there's a huge amount in the coverage for me these days, but adverts will always drive folk away. |

Don't watch the build up, can't be bothered with the half time analysis so ads/presenters don't bother me. Will just watch whatever channel is on at the time.

I will be watching the BBC build up etc and switch to ITV for the match commentary.
Clive Tyldesley has had a very good world cup, in my view, and I would accept putting up with Townsend to listen to him. The BBC, O'Neill aside, are miles in front for the studio battle. The way some people differentiate between the channels you would think they are showing two completely different matches. |

BBC, simply because I can synchronise with radio 5 and not have to endure the television commentators and pundits.
That is much easier than synchronising the tv with the radio I would have thought. ![]()

The red button allows you to play alternative commentary which is what I assume NiteOwl means.

BBC so I won't have to watch ads or hear the awful 'Braaazilllll Brazil'
I asked this question to a number of friends last weekend in the pub and every single one, without exception, agree with me. It has to be the BBC. My parents and other family also say the same. I'm sure in the last two World Cup's ITV didn't even bother showing the final but I may be wrong, in fact I probably am. |

Oh I thought that he meant trying to synch up a radio with the tv pictures, rather than just flicking onto one of the red button channels, if it is the latter, then I misjudged what he meant, sorry about that.

The radio presenters should have the TV image in front of them so they can see what viewers are seeing such as a replay - but feel free to talk about something else for those without a picture. EDIT Sorry point just covered. |

I've noticed on some BBC games that the red button had an option of Radio 1 commentary too. Did anyone brave that sea of emptiness?

Yes. will watch on BBC with radio commentary. The radio commentators are far more knowledgeable. You don't have so much of the drivel such as "that was the first time Newcastle have scored since Alan Shearer's dog died"..

Would imagine it's Guy Mowbray/Mark Lawrenson for the BBC and Clive Tyldesley/Andy Townsend for ITV.
I'll flick between both for the build up and prob have the five live comm on the red button for the match. |

ITV for me.
I think the narrative about ITV's coverage is a bit of a cliche. I don't find it any worse than BBC's & I like the fact that they have advertisements & I can get up & not feel as though I've missed anything. |

I'll watch the BBC due to lack of adverts and to avoid Glen Hoddle and Gordon Strachan.
To be honest, I'm a supporter of public service broadcasting and the BBC so I will nearly always watch the BBC cover major events when there is a choice. ITV actually has to show me they are better, rather than just as good, for me to watch them though I find their coverage fine when they are the only option. It may seem unreasonable but I suspect I am not the only one to feel this way. |

Just to expand a little, the radio 5 commentary is merely a few seconds ahead of the TV pictures; it doesn't sound like much, but it is sufficient to ruin the experience for me. Accessing the radio 5 commentary via the red button or channel 982-5, exclusive to BBC coverage, eliminates this problem completely. I might add in the build up to games, quite different pictures may be shown via the red button and the normal BBC coverage. So for the Brazil v Germany semi-final, instead of pictures of the pundits, via the red button there was live footage of the crowd, and we saw the players of the two opposing teams warmly greeting each other before they lined up to march onto the field of play.

I love Cannavaro's insights. He is an absolut legend and always understood the game pefectly as a player and everything he says makes a lot of sense.

BBC all the way. I wish Seesorf & Henry were in the studio though. |
