It sounds like the Beeb are going to be broadcasting from a green screen in Salford, well I have to say ITV have knocked it out of the park with their studio location overlooking Lower Manhattan! Cracking spot.

Just a shame Gary Neville is there to spoil it. 
 

Also, the Rest is Football are doing a daily show on Netflix from what looks like central New York. Their set looks like they are doing a cooking show on Channel 4 on a Sunday morning !

Good on the BBC for not wasting money on flying everyone out to North America.

It's either a cost saving exercise, or the USA won't let some of them into the country.

It was great to see an interview with Geoff Hurst about 1966 in the build up to Mexico v South Africa. Just what we all wanted!

I might have to turn it off (or maybe just down)

What on earth was going on after the usual squad did their post-match bit after the opening game? The man v food guy pretending to be excited about Canada and his co couch occupier calling the Sweden coach Gareth Southgate?!

Have to say Emma Hayes has been a decent pundit on ITV so far (although the blackboard wasn’t very high tech!). In fact if they had just ditched Neville and Wright, ITV would be doing not bad. Rather have an informed and knowledgable pundit than somebody who just likes the sound of their own voice.

It's always going to be pish. We're watching through the lens of another country. The next independence white paper should include a plan to have our own coverage of tournaments. With Willie Miller and Duncan Shearer. 

Emma Hayes has been quite insightful but ITV have stitched her up by putting her in front of a blackboard. Cue a bunch of memes circulating…

 

Sam Matterface. The most annoying voice on any TV anywhere in the last month. By some distance.

He's not just an annoying voice, he's really boring and talks a load of bollocks

Where can we watch Ian Wright's reaction?

Aye it’ll be the BBC for most on Sunday I suspect.

Joe Hart let the emotions get to him too much tonight.
