ITV’S England ‘curse’ has struck again after the Three Lions were held to a lacklustre 0-0 draw vs USA.
The Three Lions have a shocking record in major tournaments when playing on ITV.
England have played on ITV 28 times in major tournaments since 1998, including the World Cup that year.
Out of those 28 games, the Three Lions have won just SIX times.
They have lost nine and drawn 13 on the channel, including last night’s dreary 0-0 draw against USA.
The BBC on the other hand boast a far better record, and showed England’s 6-2 thumping against Iran on Monday.
While both broadcasters showed England’s painful Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy, the BBC boast a far better record than their rivals overall.
The Three Lions have played on the Beeb 26 times in major tournaments since 1998.
And they have won an impressive 26 out of those games.
The broadcaster has shown England lose just three times in major tournaments since France 98′.
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
So Three Lions fans will be delighted to find out Tuesday’s mouthwatering home nations clash against Wales is on the BBC.
Some fans have even joked that ITV should be “banned”; from showing England games because of their wretched record.
One wrote on Twitter: “ITV should be banned from showing England tournament games.”;
Another declared: “Can we be start a petition to ban @ITV from having England games?”;
And a third said: “Why is it that England are almost always rubbish when ITV is covering the match?”;
