Rejected petition Stop ITV from showing any England football matches during the World cup.

It's in the nations interest that England stand the best chance to get through to the World Cup final. It is statistically proven ITV are bad luck for our national team. England have won 1 game in the last 6 world cups whilst on the BBC England have played 13 and won 9.
