This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Stop ITV from showing any England football matches during the World cup.
Rejected on
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.
The stats
BBC Played 13, won 9, drawn 1, lost 3. A win percentage of 69%
ITV Played 10, won 1, drawn 5, lost 4. A win percentage of 10%.
Incidentally the team England beat on ITV was Trinidad and Tobago.
