Does anyone enjoy watching football on ITV?

Gary Neville acting the "tough man". Screwfix adverts. Stupid smug git on the VW advert. Adverts, adverts and more adverts

The stats are interesting too - inews.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/can-england-overcome-their-itv-world-cup-hoodoo-against-colombia/

Can't stand the bloke.Same goes for Roy Keane and Lee Dixon.
Ian Wright Wright Wright is alright 'tho.
But in general i think there is too much talk both before and after the game.Changes nothing.

In a word . . . . no!

The adverts for one spoil the enjoyment of any programme and I'll generally record anything I want to watch on the channel so they can be whizzed through.

As far as the critique goes on either channel, I can see for myself what went wrong or right, so I don't really need anyone paid a vast fee to exercise their vocal cords to tell me.

Pretty shocking that the ref tried to make up for it with that booking too.

Still, I'm £15 up so far, hopefully there is a few quid more to come. £20 if France score in the 2nd half and just shy of £10 if Mbappe can manage a couple of shots on or off target. But the kid hasn't had a kick so far

The commentators on ITV seemed to think it was a bad call. I would watch it on the BBC, but ITV player is usually a minute or so closer to the actual time than iPlayer.

I love Glenn Hoddle for what he did in a Spurs and England shirt, but... he can't pronounce Mandzukic. He's had 2-3 different attempts and it's getting rather annoying.

Ref still trying to make up for it by not booking Strinic there. Poor form.

Look at the way the defender is turning for the penalty and the speed the ball came at him.... Hope the Croats absolutely stuff them second half.......

And the ref's hair is still a distraction.
