Bad luck for the BBC really. First tournament since 2914 they have first pick of it and the first without a home nation in it. Perfectly possible ITV’s semi could beat it in the ratings as well particularly the peak,

Well the 2914 World Cup hasn’t happened yet, and they haven’t even chosen the planet that will host it.

Probably would be somewhere like Skaro or the Death Star knowing who FIFA likes dealing with...





Back to the present, and I'm surprised the BBC went with Morocco v. France as they have been quite keen on the Messi factor this tournament (and presumably he would carry more of a casual audience than almost other stories left possible). But, with the 3PPO, the BBC will show his (likely) final World Cup match anyway so, as was mentioned upthread it is fair enough that either broadcaster shoes the opposite side of the draw than they showed in the quarter-finals.
