What is England’s ITV curse?

England have played on ITV 29 times in major tournaments since 1998, including the World Cup that year.

Out of those 29 games, the Three Lions have won just SEVEN times.

They have lost nine and drawn 13 on the channel, including this year’s dreary 0-0 draw against USA.

The BBC on the other hand boast a far better record, and showed England’s 3-0 win over Wales last night, having also shown the win over Iran last week.
