On the stats.

Don't even get me started on defensive line breaks...........

That’s the host broadcaster - FIFA nothing you do with itv or bbc

Ahh ok - our friends at FIFA - do they know anything about football!!!

 

[davidmills]

No just bribery and corruption

 

[Jedi boro]

Yes I don’t get it either as what the hell is a turnover??

as surely that’s every tackle or misplaced pass.

 

[ThePrisoner]

I'm more concerned with why the picture looks so dark on my TV. Is just me?

 

[TeaCider]

The stats are meaningless to me

Noticed that last night @FatCat but as others have said it's the FIFA feed.

Looking forward to 2026 for timeouts and 4 x quarters.

It's pretty poor itv aren't showing the world cup in 4k

 

[JM14]

The coverage is terrible and so is the picture quality compared to what sky have

 

[Jedi boro]

John champion is a superb commentator

 

[TheBoroBuzzard]

Laura Woods makes it bearable

Thought exactly the same myself!!

 

[Beverleyred]

ITV made a big statement today with their coverage of the Saudi match by having an all female compare and pundit team.
I might be completely wrong, but I think that was them sending out a big message to the Arab culture on Women’s rights!

And me.

I've still not taken to all this xG, xA b***ks either.

 

[MVBoro]

I don't mind xG. BBC text have quoted it quite a lot, which is helpful when I am working. Gives a reasonable indication of how a game is generally going, but obviously doesn't tell the full picture. Only proper goals count!
