It's much nicer watching it on Spanish TV. I'd prefer not to watch it than watch it on ITV.....the BBC is not much better.

I just feel that watching the world cup would be much better if you could watch the coverage from a country that isn't participating. It seems like every spare minute is filled with interviews of boring england footballers and gushing interviewers on english tv. I just watch the game and pretty much turn off and get anything else from podcasts.

The totally football show is good. Most of the people participating are english and they manage to remain generally neutral. The coverage and talk seems to be pretty fair and not overly england-scentric. It can be done.


I think a large part of me wants England out so that we can actually get some insight on other teams, and not have the feeling that most teams apart from england are largely incidental.
