What a motley crew… did no one tell them to dress up smart for the photo.

It’s diverse I will give them that … that’s the first box ticked.

Right let’s look at how articulate they all are … oh that mustn’t be on the checklist.

How many have played or managed at men’s world cups …. A few I recognise … that mustn’t have been a criteria then?

How many are entertaining, thought provoking and loveable characters…. Oh that wasn’t on the criteria either.

It’s not quite Brian Moore, Allison, Clough, Dougan and Jackie Charlton is it

I go a step further. I record it. Wait until the game is 15 minutes in, then fast forward the recording to the kick off. In that way I can fast forward through the halftime analysis and chit chat too.
 
Whoever is in the line-up, I'll watch it rather than watching on ITV.

I know it's pathetic objecting to adverts as much as I do, it's just the number of adverts. If they didn't go for an advert break between the national anthems and kick-off, then only had one advert break at half-time, then didn't have an advert break immediately after the full-time whistle but showed the player reactions then went for one, it would be a lot more watchable.

Every single match being on the iPlayer might demonstrate to ITV that people don't like it and previously only put up with them because they had no choice. If viewer figures for the match on ITV drop significantly and the iPlayer stats show people are watching there, they might get the point.

I love her, but what insight can she provide about competing in a men’s World Cup tournament?

What insight can a pro footballer provide? Not that presenting is all about insight, and you can be knowledgeable on football without having played it professionally. I haven't played it but I would do a fantastic job as a pundit/presenter.

You can't watch all matches on iPlayer so you're probably confusing it with all matches covered by the BBC but that will include radio commentary only for example.

BBC already get the far bigger audience when both show the same game as these are the numbers from the 2022 final. Some people will just flick over once the footy is on depending on the commentators, though that doesn't bother me as in the past it was more which channel had the better quality picture but I don't think it matters that much now.

Peak audience of almost 15m watched BBC coverage of France v Argentina, with 4.3m watching on ITV

Disappointing, some of the wording seemed to imply every match was on iPlayer, seems that it is just the matches shown on the BBC will be on iPlayer. :(
