That's only in England though. ITV1 in Wales is showing the Wales match.

The reason that the England match is being shown on ITV2 is so anyone who's English but lives in Wales can still see the England match, just as anyone who's Welsh but lives in England can still see the Wales match because it's on ITV4.

Ah, I see. That still seems overkill though - both matches are available on ITV2 and ITV4 in England and Wales, so duplicating the matches on ITV1 is unnecessary. It's all digital now, so if you can get ITV1, then you can get 2 & 4 too. Unless I'm missing something here.

ITV1 gets double the viewing figures of all the other ITV channels put together. Therefore, ITV want the England match on ITV1 in England and the Wales match on ITV1 in Wales in order to do everything possible to maximise their audience. ITV2 and ITV4 are minority interest channels.

Ooh. Potential penalty not given for Switzerland in the last minute which could have affected the draw for round two and beyond .

What rubbish shirts.
Remind me not to buy a shirt from the manufacturers of the Switerland players outfits

Here's hoping Skrtel gets a red card this time!!

You have to laugh at the BBC news reporters refusing to acknowledge that there are any other tv channels. They say "you can listen to all the action on Radio 5 live, and then watch the highlights on BBC1 later".
No, I will be watching it on ITV, and so will you.

Croatia have been fined 77,000 euro for the crowd disturbance in the match against the Czech Republic

The England fans are supposedly behaving themselves in St Ettienne today.

But the bar owners are suprised how much they drink. One guy said that he has sold as much beer today as he normally sells in a month

UEFA should kick them out. It'll be best thing for Croatia. They seem to be always paying fines and playing behind closed doors. Obviously the current punishments aren't working.

Anyone planning to go to the world cup in Russia? Will be like a war zone.
