What the feck happened to the coverage in added time [Ghana vs Uruguay]? My stream cut off & I was told to go to BBC ONE, then the damn thing froze.
Poor.
Poor.

Couldn't make it up. Took me a moment to get over the shock of them cutting off such a great game at such a crucial moment. 
Yeah that was fecking stupid.
The random pitch side interviews in the coverage is odd.
"Let's pause from analysing the game in the studio to go to someone who'll give their analysis while standing outside"

It was very ITV. Someone made that decision too, it wasn't even an accident.
Wouldn't be shocked if that person is facing a disciplinary.

Their collection of co-commentators on matches are all fecking dreadful. Keown, Jenas, Danny Murphy and Dion Dublin. I mean, does anybody like listening to these people talking? They must have great agents.
Another complaint that isn’t restricted to those above but surely nobody wants to listen to two people having forced shit ‘banter’ between them. Just talk about the fecking match. Provide some insight if you can or at least go the Ally McCoist route of being incredibly enthusiastic or having a delightful Scottish accent.

Said it in the match thread but the little films and interviews they're doing in the lead up to games are fantastic. The Tyler Adams one yesterday and the one of the welsh singer in the lead up to the England vs Wales game were particularly brilliant.
There really is a lack of charismatic and insightful co-commentators.
Don't mind Jenas actually. The rest are awful.
It seems all the good ones got signed up to other networks.
fecking BBC spent all of that half time moaning and crying about England. Fk off.
After listening to the Football Cliches podcast all I hear are the things they pick up on. Danny Murphy just comes across as lazy and uninspired.
I mean that’s what pundits do?
During a half time semi final of the WC between Morocco and France?I mean that’s what pundits do?
It’s just filler? Not sure it’s worth being outraged about. Just watch coverage from elsewhere if you don’t like hearing about England. Problem solved.
They should just show trailers of quality upcoming BBC programmes instead.
Yeah @The Corinthian if you don’t like it you can fackin do one mate
Thug!
People need to get over the absolute shock of an English broadcast talking about England.
Surprised they didn't slip in a teaser about who will be on the next dancing contest show.
Drogba was quite complimentary about England from what I heard? Anyway maybe skip the Beeb from now onEven Drogba was bemused at it. England still moaning a week later.
Madness
Nah, I can expect better from them considering I fund them.
Don’t fund them then and watch something else? Bit daft kicking up a fuss about something so trivial and obvious.
You can't legally watch live TV in Britain without funding them.
I’m aware
So how do you go about "not funding them and watching something else" when you want to watch live sport in the UK and you're a nice, law abiding citizen like @The Corinthian ?
Not an English broadcast.
Not my problem. I’m personally not arsed what they chat about at half time
I agree. It really is one step beyond.
This doesn’t make any sense, and as @V.O. points out, I’m a nice, handsome, law abiding citizen.
It makes as much sense as complaining about what shit they talk about at half time tbh, or being surprised they did a piece on England. It’s the BBC. Its what they do
Even Drogba was bemused at it. England still moaning a week later
I had no idea that was Didier Drogba. I assumed that it was Deachamps.
I thought that Drogba was much bigger.

Deschamps is a white man and managing the France NT.
It’s coming home mate
Shit, did the British Broadcasting Corporation change their name?
Shhhhh
Wales got the same treatment. They were arguably the worst team in the tournament and BBC were going on as if they found a solution to world hunger.
