So much of this tournament has been played out in slow motion. And on Sunday Raleigh Ritchie’s Stronger Than Ever was the soundtrack to the first images of England goals and flabby stomachs in the stands. Lineker had his ‘own Three Lions’ Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand.
But credit to ITV unlike the Beeb, they immediately addressed the idiots storming Wembley. A depressing start but it was important they used live footage and first-hand testimony from one of the poor stewards.
They also mentioned Italy. For a time on Auntie, it was easy to forget there were two teams playing. At least Lineker and Co mastered the montages.
