    Yeah, but what about The People's Democratic Republic of the Congo?

    Never would I have expected ITV to deliver better coverage than the BBC.

    Not sure, I'm more interested to know if they still drink Um Bongo there?

    Don't know what you're all moaning about?
    The Emma Hayes section was a refreshing change.

    This thread seems to me like it's appeared at exactly the wrong time.
    ITV's studio and pundits in this tournament are the best they've ever been.

    I have no clue how the BBC have got their coverage so wrong. I honestly cant bear to watch their build up pre match and then the post match stuff. The pundits that they have are soooo boring and can not string a sentence together without countless "urms" between every second word. Im not a major fan of Neville etc but they are streets ahead in terms of presentation and entertainment

    Probably helps that Keane, Neville and Wrighty already do a lot together and have got good chemistry between them.
    As opposed to the BBC putting different randoms on there and monotone Murphy.

    Totally agree mate but you would have thought that whoever in the BBC has made the decision to appoint their coverage team would have maybe looked beyond the "ex footballer" requirement and put some degree on having the ability to actually speak and have a modicum of media delivery skill. IMO for what is supposed to be our blue ribbon channel they have really second rate coverage

    Be thankful you don’t have to listen to James Maclean and his political posturing.
    Makes Giroud sound like a university professor 😩

    Funny that I've never seen a male pundit during the women's matches. 

    Sexism still exists .
    Ian Wright often does the job

    Famously, for years. Jonas Eidevall was also a pundit at the 2022 Euros and 2023 World Cup. Nedum Onuoha was one of the pundits alongside Wright for the Euro 2025 final. If someone has never seen a male pundit during the women's matches then they haven't been paying much attention
    or they’re making it up to suit their prejudice.

    Emma Hayes utilising a chalk board for her hydration break analysis of Spain v Cape Verde was entertaining, innovative and must have blown most of the ITV WC punditry budget.

    I said exactly this to the missus a couple of days before when the lady off talksport was in that bit. 
    I’m sure Toby will have seen these memes already..
    My missus didn’t hear me though, I expect she was hoovering or summink….

    I hope Emma gets to see these - I’m sure she’d see the funny side…

    So ITV have shelled out a shed load for their sooper dooper studio, but they've now had to relocate to a cupboard because of the wind! 

    Imagine the uproar if that was the BBC.

    Even people who don't own TVs pay for ITV.

    Nope, you've lost me there old fruit. I think you're just confirming the point I was making, but I don't suppose that's what you meant.

    But it's pretty clear theres only one relevant to the game we're all watching.
