It's also worth noting - as misterh hasn't - that the photo feature in WSC is about Marske United.

I shall be recording the 1pm games, and watching/fastforwarding them when I get home around 4pm, recording the 4pm games and getting them watched/fastforwarded before the live game at 7pm. I just hope the 7pm games are not so dull. Think i'll probably just stick to the highlights on the whole, not really fussed about catching up with games I can't see live. I'll watch all the England games live (or in the case of the Belgium game an hour behind - thank goodness it's on ITV - hopefully I won't hear the score before I start watching), and Iceland I think. Few months ago I was looking to see how much my work would clash with it and was a bit surprised at how little it did, though I booked the day off work to watch one of the Iceland games (wish i'd booked another day off actually for another team). Generally the games of interest have been scheduled at suitable times, and i'm off during some of the knockout rounds anyway.

There aren't any highlights shows as far as I know, all they will do is at 4pm show the goals from the 1pm, there wont be much detail based on what has happened in previous tournos?

Oh, I seem to remember them showing highlights from the last world cup, or am I making that up? Would be annoying as wouldn't be able to watch at 4pm either on the whole, during the group stages anyway. Don't think i'd have time to catch up with the games, I suspect keeping up with just the highlights might be difficult enough!

BBC red button has in the last 10 years done a round up the next day in WC and EC. When I worked on farms I'd watch it at 6am as it was on a loop.

BBC red button has in the last 10 years done a round up the next day in WC and EC. When I worked on farms I'd watch it at 6am as it was on a loop. Having just checked, for the 2014 tournament they also did a daily highlights show on BBC2 every morning. That's what I had in mind this time, as i'd be watching any highlights mainly in the morning anyway.

If it was on the BBC you’d be able to watch from the start on iPlayer. You could also do some catching up at half-time. Better still, there’d be no Tyldesley or Matterface commentary.
