Aus 1st goal: penalty, saved, rebound bundled home
Italy equaliser: defender takes a heavy touch, Italy player pounces, then falls over like JT in the CL final but the ball creeps in
Italy winner: goalie thinks about jumping for corner, doesn't, Italy player heads it, defender goes to clear it off the line but misses.

What a spectacle of football for the neutral!!!

You could describe the England men’s team’s defending in the semi-final last week in similarly comical terms.

Utterly disingenuous of the BBC to compare a terrestrial audience with that of a game on Sky.

Yep, those would be fantasy numbers for Sky.

You have a point there Reg

About the only thing the two things have in common.

But it feed s the illusion of its great , everyone wants to see it ............like shite they do ....or it would of been even higher like a blokes Wcup game would do 8-10 M ....minimum........all pc agenda driven crap from the BBC again &not really mentioning it was Eng /Scotland too , which helps national figures

Today programme's sport bulletin at 8.25 this morning consisted solely of a report on the Women's world cup game with some moronic female droning on about VAR

Not a single mention of

1) The F1
2) Mens's football result
3) Aussies v India cricket
4) Nadal winning the French Open
5) Mcilroy winning with a final round of 61

They're not even pretending to hide the agenda any more.

Sky Sport News was leading on it yesterday lunchtime ahead of the first four and they are not even covering it which for them is amazing. Anything they don’t broadcast is normally low in the pecking order.

England are involved, so they focus on that. When the men’s rugby “World Cup” comes around they will do the same, despite the fact that nobody usually gives a fuck about this minority perversion.

Won't find me arguing on that one Reg

The average audience was actually just over 4m. This is the figure used for official ratings purposes, and it's less than Countryfile used to get in the early Sunday evening slot. More BBC hype I'm afraid

England v Scotland in a WC or Euros would get 15M+ I reckon, more if a knockout game.

Their percentages are not only bollocks but contradict their own bollocks.

The BBC is a disgrace.

In every which way you care to look.

Any Van Dijks in the Dutch team?

Why this obsession with viewing figures?
It's like those shopping websites where the default search is by "most popular". I don't give a fuck what anyone else is buying, and I don't give a fuck about what anyone else is watching; if I did then I'd watch Love Island instead of a documentary about Quantum Physics, because Love Island must be better because more people watch it.

Either watch things for their own sake or not, but don't compare them to anything else, even if Gary Lineker tells you to.

I like the forward pairing of minjita & rugmuncha , both exceptional in the box apparently ........i may watch that pair
