Here we go! Come on England!!!!

[Portofino]

We have to beat the US! As my friend in California pointed out this morning "soccer is mainly a girl's game"!

gerrard!!

Nice one Stevie!!!!

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Ooops, I was just emailing an American friend.

That was fast.

Gosh that came out of the blue.

We have no ITV/Sky here so have Arsene Wenger in the commentary box

wooo hoo

ITV HD - kindly went to adverts for the goal, so we missed it! What fab coverage NOT

or even cartwheels but either way i spilt my beer!

I think they should award the first goal to the team who sings their national antem te best. It would open up all sorts of possibilities....jazz hands..tap dancing..teeth and eyes. Much more entertaining.

What the hell happened there - ITV cut to an ad and by the time they got back England had scored.....

Apparently they did something similar in a Liverpool - Everton FA cup tie a couple of years ago.

Is it different on HD to the normal ITV then furball?

Can't they wait til half time? I bet ad rates are extortionate during England matches....

No idea Katycarr - We've only got it on HD so don't know whats going on on normal ITV

No ad breaks on standard ITV yet.

We have HD IVT but don't use it, mainly because I don't know the number. Probably just as well. We saw the goal on ITV.

Obviously an american in charge of the ad button on HD (grin)

Slight at the irony of those who were chuffed with their snazzy HD TVs missing the goal. Bet ITV get loads of emails about that.

Obviously an american in charge of the ad button on HD

It wasn't really a proper ad break, just a bit of an ad & then a snippet of the Argentina game - somebody obviously pressed the wrong button at the crucial moment.

Bet there were a few ructions in the pubs when that happened!

NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Whooops. Butterfingers

Whoops.

this is what we saw - all in glorious HD
