Is England's ITV curse real? Three Lions record on BBC and ITV

England's first two Euro 2024 games will be on the BBC thankfully...

Since WC 98 ITV have shown 30 matches England playing in Euros and WCs and only had 8 wins. Or 26.6%
BBC have shown 28 matches including todays winning 19 - 67.8%

Spurious Correlations

Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.

Aliens.

It's because the general crappiness of ITVs commentary teams causes a collective emotional malaise across the whole country, which is then trasmitted to the team via alpha waves. Science.

Anyone that thinks Rio is either a good presenter or a credible voice on football is beyond hope

Can anyone remember when they cut to the adverts too early and literally missed a goal at the end? Just all round bad.

Unrelated - but do you think the general quality of guest presenters on BBC and it is below the standards of the past? I remember when they had hi-profile guests like seedorf, kinsman etc now we have Jose font, and some random German guy who I think is going to manage Brighton.
(plus the former England women's team players who on the whole are not super insightful).

They've had some decent ones this time round, Fabregas and the like, they are just sandwiched between ferdinand, Richards and other wastes of space.

I think that was a few years back in an Everton FA cup match
