ITV are doing something interesting on Sunday.
If, hypothetically, ITV1 shows the 4pm kick-off on Sunday, the Canadian Grand Prix (which doesnt actually start until 6pm) will be shunted onto ITV2, with ITV1 only showing highlights, and not until 1.00am.
I presume ITV are edging their bets that England will beat Sweden tonight, thus allowing the BBC to show the 4pm Sunday match.

That's typical of the BBC that is, they can't do anything right!

It's not the Beeb's AFAIK.
It's the T Mobile one at the fanpark.
The Beeb Victoria Square screen is not allowed to show the England matches 'for safety reasons', bearing in mind, supporters went mad in the City Centre after Euro 2004, but some cynics believe some city bigwigs are after making a fast buck alledgely!
Believe what you want.

The commentator on ITV1 said that Joe Cole's goal was the 1999th World Cup goal
Then on the highlights from the Paraquay match the ITV4 commentator said that the Paraquay goal was the 2000th... despite them scoring before England
Now apparently the Swedish goal was the 2000th

Haha... very entertaining on Sky News - when Sweden's second goal went in they were in the middle of the weather and you could hear the ITV commentary faintly in the background and people in the newsroom shouting "NOO!"

The goal in the Paraguay game was disallowed - it would have been the 2000th, that's what Peter Drury said, cloth ears!

As I posted many pages earlier on this thread - once again I enjoyed the adverts in tonight's England game.
I was watching in the pub and two adverts certainly silenced a lot of people and got them talking about them.
The two I remember were the Honda ad and also the new Lynx advert.
I haven't seen adverts of this calibre on ITV for a while - if an advert is well made it really can add to an event. On ITV1 tonight all the World Cup adverts really built-up the event and made it feel so much more special.
Were these ads shown in ALL regions?
