It's British TV mate and England are the only British Team in the tournament, its par for the course they are going to talk about them surely, can't say I have found it overbearing in what Iv watched so far.

TBF, I'm sure it's the same in every other country.

If Wales or Scotland or Irish qualified as well. It would still be 8 mins talking England.

Possibly, but England makes up 85% of the UK so they dominate as a MASSIVE volume of those viewing will be English, the amount of Welsh people tuning in is probably no more than 2-300,000 for this game right now, the amount of Costa Ricans and Serbs watching on ITV is probably next to nothing.

It doesn't bother me if they want to talk about England, if it was on S4C I'd expect it would be the same with Wales.

You could have fooled me that its British what ebc not bbc. Etv not itv,i now they are the only" british team but i want to hear about the teams that are playing on the day not this copying wales stronger together thing watching players playing darts etc last time around they had earplugs in speaking to nobody but that's just my opinion

Of course they are 90% of the people who are watching are English. I bet if you watched on French tv they’d talk a lot about the French team if you watched on pananman tv it would be about panama.

Don’t understand what your issue is like have you expected to hear all about Nigeria all day. They probably haven’t got there Costa Rican football expert in today so have to fill the time talking about the country most of the people are watching come from and what they know most about.

British TV channel, England the only home nation represented. Of course they’re going to talk about them. Crack on.

Quite interesting as well.

quite seriously..you think if Wales were there that there would be no references to Wales while commentating or discussing other games on bbc Wales.or in fact on the BBC itself..
