England Fans Left Puzzled by BBC Announcement After Thrilling World Cup Win!
Did you catch England’s nail-biting 3-2 victory over Mexico in the wee hours? If you did, you weren’t alone! Despite the 2am kick-off and a one-hour delay thanks to Mexico City’s thunderstorms, a staggering live audience of 9.1 million tuned in on BBC One. This shattered previous late-night viewing records and sparked some hilarious questions among fans!
With an impressive 86% of the audience glued to the match, curious fans are pondering over what the other 14% could possibly have been watching so late. Some cheeky suggestions included tuning into the ‘mucky channels’ or perhaps leaving the TV on by mistake. 😂
So, what else was on? Well, if footie wasn’t your thing, there were options: BBC Two played a Teddy Pendergrass biopic, ITV aired Shop on TV, and Channel 4 had Gogglebox reruns. But honestly, with such an epic game, most stayed loyal to the Three Lions!
Saturday’s quarter-final clash against Norway promises to be another thriller (and thankfully, it’s at a decent hour—10pm UK time). Who’s ready to roar for England again?
Let us know if you stayed up for the match and what you thought of the game! 🏴☠️⚽ #WorldCupFever #EnglandWin #LateNightFootieFun
