Like any self respecting TV Forumer both.

First half BBC, second half ITV.

Rio Ferdinand looks like a captain of a flight if EasyJet went posh... Orange tie, that jacket...

ITV not making the same effort dress wise... Having said that, Alan Shearer looks a bit uncomfortable in his suit.

Loving ITV's beach though as always.

The BBC have been advertised 'uninterrupted coverage' for the past week or so but the continuity announcer said they were showing a Doctor Who advert at half time. They can't have it both ways.

I thought the BBC's USP was the lack of interruptions or adverts in their programmes, how wrong you can be.

For me it's ITV for Warm Up/Analysis and the BBC for the actual commentary. Time to turn over now...

Because as you know it's a lucrative game advertisers want to be involved with, even if it loses massively to the BBC. And it's no real comment on the team behind ITV's coverage if they lose as traditon and ads have a lot to do with it. You could swap the teams overnight and get a pretty similar result.
