I will admit to liberating this from a mate, but I love this kind of stuff.......

In the last 20 years of England World Cup Football at the Finals, the only game we have won when ITV have televised it was against Trinidad & Tobago, 2-0, 12 years ago.

Our upcoming tie with Columbia is on ITV ITV.png

I GENUINELY thought to myself the other day "I'm sure we don't do as well when we're on ITV."

Great.

That table doesn't take account of last night's game, so it will be even lower than 10%...

The only two knockout games on ITV ended in penalty shootout defeats. We could be in for a long night.

Tyldesley will be happy, he only has to worry about commentating on one more England game then he can concentrate on his first love.

I appreciate ITV throw money at stuff, but they have the real knack of making everything look SHODDY.

Sure, the adverts don't help, but the BBC just ooze class in their coverage.

The difference in opening titles music over the years is the key example of this.

ITV should have been banned from ever showing England again after they were SHOWING AN ADVERT while Gerrard was putting us 1-0 up against USA in South Africa 2010. OFCOM should have stripped them of their England broadcasting rights immediately after the end of that game, and awarded it all exclusively to the BBC. No questions. No appeals. Stripped.

ITV is generally shit. I mean, I might catch the odd Murder She Wrote, or an action movie on ITV4, but ITV is usually the opposite of entertainment.

1970: Brazil
1974: Germany
1978: Argentina
1982: Italy
1986: Argentina
1990: Germany
1994: Brazil
1998...therefore had to be us again!!

England...upsetting trend analysis since 1998 :(

Saturday night TV - ITV is guaranteed to serve up utter tripe of some sort during the peak hours. Usually something with Ant & Dec.

Did ITV really let BBC have four games in a row in 2002? It seems very unlikely.

Or was a game or two on both channels, as I’m sure used to happen way back when, but hats been conveniently ignored to help reinforce the point?
