Fuming World Cup fans demand BBC ‘sort it out’ as supporters bemoan ‘annoying’ technical issue for England vs Nigeria
FUMING fans were demanding that the BBC “sort it out” after an “annoying” technical issue during England’s crunch World Cup match.
Sarina Wiegman’s side are currently taking on Nigeria in the quarter-final this morning.
The Lionesses roared into the last 16 with a stunning 6-1 win over China in their final game in Group D.
And now the nation is tuning in to BBC One to see whether they can build on that incredible victory and advance to the semi finals.
However, an annoying time-lapse meant that the commentary on the game was actually a couple of seconds AHEAD of the action.
And fans quickly took to Twitter to vent their fury as they urged the Beeb to get it sorted as quickly as possible.
One asked: “Anyone else’s BBC commentary out of sync with the pictures?
“Knew that shot had hit the bar and Mary Earps had made a save about a second before they happened.”
Another raged: “If I have to pay a license fee the BBC could at least make sure their pictures and commentary are in sync.”
A fellow viewer fumed: “The BBC commentary being a couple of seconds ahead of the cameras is really killing the suspense of #ENGNGA, to be honest.”

Another viewer tweeted: “BBC commentary is in front of the game and it’s SO annoying. Basically telling me what’s going to happen before it actually does…”
While a fellow fan demanded: “Why is the commentary out?! Sort it BBC.”
It was a major own goal for BBC – especially after viewers had earlier declared that they could not “get enough” of Alex Scott ahead of England’s crunch showdown.
The Lionesses’ legend appeared on screen to provide the pre-match coverage as she rocked a trendy black outfit.
And fans quickly took to social media to hail the 38-year-old former England and Arsenal right-back on Twitter.
