I think Hoddle gets a rough ride on here. Certainly he does say some fairly pointless things, but every now and then he shows his tactical acumen, which is a lot more interesting than listening to the biggest football pundit simpleton ever, Andy Townsend, or one or two of ITV's crap commentary team.

Not surprisingly, Hoddle is being mis-used. He should be on the panel giving his take on where things are going right and wrong. Ideally in that thick misogynistic bore Patrice Evra's place.

I tend to agree. Hoddle spots patterns of play early and normally has good suggestions for how to correct issues. Unfortunately his role on ITV is mainly to just make inane chit chat. He should only be used for tactical analysis.

Sweden game is on BBC1. ITV had the first two picks of the second round, in return the BBC gets the first two picks of the quarter finals. ITV get the first pick of the semi-finals. Therefore, if we be beat Sweden, it will almost certainly be on ITV.

But as usual, the viewing figures will show that 90% of people are watching the BBC, and the rest of them are watching Countdown on Channel 4. Therefore I don't think we can count this as an ITV game.

I'm not sure why ITV even bother trying to go head to head with the BBC when it comes to football.

That'll be:

29M watching BBC
1M watching ITV because they love adverts

I think it's only on the BBC. A Google search cannot find any reference to ITV also having live coverage ... Just that BBC had first pick of the QFs.

ALL CHANGE

I was totally wrong, but my Sky planner was showing both BBC and ITV showing the game, now updated, and for those that don't want to watch the football they can watch a repeat of Midsomer Murders and the Chase.

I blame that I was still too excited from the penalty shootout win to double check.

Still on the plus side, its NOt on ITV so our chances of going through have increased
