****ing disgrace.

This. 

 

People moan when the national team coverage is on ITV. "Adverts... Blah, blah," "sh*t presenters, blah blah"

 

Now it's behind a paywall, and you have ads. And the coverage is comparable, if not worse nowadays.

Bloody terrible, it's one thing basically the entire country gets behind and they've cut huge numbers of people off from watching by putting it on Sky.

Sky's coverage of football is on a different planet to any other broadcaster in this country let alone itv who are the worst of the lot, they aren't comparable whatsoever. itv's coverage of football always feels cheap, their pre-match England / Croatia build up was sensationally abysmal, had me wincing.

 

I'm delighted I won't have to sit through Glenn Hoddle, Mark Pougatch, or Clive Tyldsley.

I mean... is this new to you? England matches have been on satellite TV for nearly 30 years now. They've been on so long British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB) actually showed some matches, and they went defunct about 27 years ago. Games like Italy in 1997 and the last ever game at Wembley on satellite TV.

 

If you're so against it, contact your MP to lobby the minister to change the listed sporting events to include England national team fixtures. Maybe write a letter to UEFA asking them not to sell their rights for the Nations League to the highest bidder.

International football isn't what it used to be these games seem pretty pointless

Call me dim etc (yes, some may assume already on here..! :whistle: ), but still don't understand this League of Nations competition.

Seems like a more prestigious name for friendlies tbh.

I don’t think the players get it either ?

 

It just means less tedious friendlies against Shepherds and IT Consultants

It's honestly such an easy format to understand, I wasn't clued up so a few weeks back I just read the Wikipedia article, it does make sense even if there are a few flaws in how sides can qualify for the Euros via it.

 

Fundamentally it gives lesser fancied sides like San Marino etc a chance of real, competitive action against nations of a similar billing (or at least, as similar as possible).

Shame a monopoly is forming in sports television broadcasting, in any sport now.

It's becoming greed now imo.
