You’d expect at least double that for USA match.

11.5m peak I'm seeing reported for Wales v USA.
There are clearly still going to be big ratings for this tournament.

Not a bad figure considering so many people would’ve been at work. As well as us being in an online age where iPlayer takes up a serious chunk of viewers, I know that if I wasn’t an annual leave yesterday for the match, I’d be watching on iPlayer at my desk rather than watching on TV.
I’d predict large streaming figures for the game.

FIFA have moved on from clamping down on any deviation from teams and fans to clamping down on broadcasters.

They surely can't enforce that. How can they have a problem with that ribbon, but not the full colour channel DOG next to it?

When the Olympics were being held in the UK, the IOC at least attempted to censure a high street bakery for baking a cake with the Olympic rings on them. These organisations are just insanely protective of their IP and content, often in a way that is just obviously counterproductive to anybody normal. They will claim that the ribbon is a 'political' statement being overlayed onto their content and that people might mistake it for representing the view of FIFA. Though, to be fair, being associated with something this harmless and decent would indeed be damaging to the reputation that FIFA have built up for themselves.

the Olympics were a bit of a different situation - various trademarks (and similar words and symbols) were given additional protection in the UK in primary legislation.
In this case, FIFA licences the rights to show the games to individual broadcasters - they may well have stipulations in the contract as to what can be shown as overlaid graphics or in the surrounding programming.
Still trying to work out what happened with the bars on ITV earlier - at half time, Laura Woods blamed the world feed, though I can't find much mention of it on the twitter from other countries. The bars are definitely from IBC though.

Sure, the exact circumstances are a little different, but it's the same underlying extreme pettiness that just alienates people. There should really be a term for this kind of oversensitive brand management that damages the brand more than protects it.

Considering I posted the Tweet to Reddit then got a lot of Argentinians telling me she's incredibly controversial... I don't blame FIFA for this one
Quote:In the wake of the 11th September 2001 attack, Bonafini generated international controversy when she defended the actions of the terrorist airline hijackers, saying "I felt there were many people in that moment who were happy and felt that the blood of so many in that moment were avenged... because of the NATO bombings, the blockades and the millions of children who die of hunger in this world, that was due to this power that those men attacked, with their own bodies".
Bonafini expressed support for figures such as Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Augusto Sandino, Yasser Arafat, Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales. She declared herself against social democracy, capitalism, neo-liberalism, globalization and the International Monetary Fund".
