Never done one before.

Heart says 3-0 and head says ‘yeah probably’.

England win, everyone shrugs their shoulders

Scotland win (or draw), and we’ll never hear the end of it.

Scotland nothing to lose.

Yes, but get through those games and bloody ITV and their curse will likely get first dibs on a semi final like they did three years ago.

I think when it gets to a semi final both channels should show it regardless. I'm sure in 1990 both channels showed the England-W Germany game live although I think only ITV had the live rights to the 1996 Euros semi. I might be wrong...

Both channels have the rights to every game at every major tournament as the fee is split 50/50.

Who shows what is a result of negotiation between themselves.

Yeah - but ITV should only be allowed to show friendlies.

Yes, I completely understand that they split the games evenly hence BBC would get a last 16 game and a QF should that happen as ITV have had two of the three group games, it's just that if it got as far as covering a semi final then it would be ITV's turn again as it was in 2018 (although IIRC ITV showed the Colombia R16 game and BBC the QF against Sweden).

I'd just rather that if England get to a semi final it would be a sufficiently important game that both channels could show it or preferably just the BBC. It might be slightly irrational but England's tournament record when exclusively on ITV is woeful.

if England get to the semi final it will be shown on ITV which I'm sure will be the real reason we go out rather than anything to do with what happens on the football pitch.

Bit like that Curse of Sky for QPR which is forgotten whenever we win on Sky

One day it will all be behind a paywall so you'll have someone new to blame

but surely if there is a curse we'd lose every friendly and qualifier shown on ITV as well or does the curse only work for some games and not others.

Not to worry anyway, Holly Wiloughby and the ghost of Jeremy Beadle will be pissing on all 4 corners of the pitch tonight which should lift any curse

Spoken like a loyal employee Dave. No need to get so defensive, it's just a bit of fun.
Okay, I'll make a bet. Should we get to a semi final shown on ITV, if England win it, I'll donate £20 to a charity of your choice.

I'm not that loyal, I'd be all over the BBC if they paid me enough.

Don't worry I'm not taking it seriously. It is genuinely mad though isn't it. When you think about it England win roughly 2 games per tournament, every 10 years or so we win 3 or 4 and get to a quarter final or semi final but we desperately look for reasons why other than the obvious all of our best players play in very different styles for their clubs so to getting a cohesive team out of them has proved to be impossible for 55 years. Other Nations where teams all play the same well and their league is a bit dull due to it find it a lot easier to find a style to get the best out of them

I can now that I know he is I suppose, but I didn't at first. It's very mild to my ears.


I'm sure being away for decades had caused him to shave a few edges off it, but that Carnlough, Ballymena, North Antrim accent often sounds like a mixture of Irish and Scottish. Mainly for historical/cultural reasons, some of which we'll be hearing more of from October onwards by the sounds of things...

Interesting piece in the Grauniad about how few games the players in the Welsh squad played for their clubs last season and noting the team spirit.

Makes sense to me that those players may be fresher and more motivated to play. At least, a lot more sense than the randomly distributed wins or losses of England by TV channel having any possible impact on the next fixture.

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

Another poster who makes excuses and has so low expectations and tries to say that I am deluded.....the data is in front of you if you care to open your eyes!!!

What does it matter if they are young??? ....they are not btw and if they are then why did Southgate pick them all!!!

If you cannot accept that the England squad is proper decent then there is something wrong with you and your knowledge of football.

Yes there may be better teams, not far better, but we are a match for any of them, sadly Southgate is the 'weak link' and if you cannot see or accept that then sobeit.

We were playing Scotland ffs, not a top Euro side!!!


Why would I make excuses? I'm just a football fan saying what I think. It's not for me to make excuses for Southgate or the team. You say "the data is in front of you" but you never provide any. The obvious data, which are "facts" that you like:-

England's youngest ever tournament squad.
The team against Scotland was the youngest ever 11 England to have played in tournament football.
A large proportion of the team barely have any caps

Age plays a major part when it relates to experience. We have some good players, but they have a lot to learn. The England squad is OK, but nowhere near France, Italy, Belgium. Can we beat any of them in a one-off game - of course. Can we play at their level consistently - no.

Easy question for you - who in the England team would make the current French team, and, if there are any, who would they replace?
