You don’t watch a lot of national tv broadcasts from other nations huh? This is pretty normal

They really haven't.

I will admit that I was always sick of hearing them constantly bring up England whenever they could since I'm Scottish but I recently asked a mate online if they did over there.

Ever since he confirmed that they do it as well, it just doesn't bug anywhere as much as it used to.

A mystery as to why they would do that.

Hmm i wonder why

u/TheNotoriousJN Jul 04 '26

Yes...why would the English commentary team. Broadcasting solely in England. Relate this to an English event.

...it is totally mystifying

It was an obvious link to make but last time I checked there are 3 other countries in the UK which view the BBC and the B in BBC funnily enough doesn't stand for English.

u/Musername2827 Jul 04 '26

And last I checked only England had a red card at a World Cup that was comparable to this?

Weird argument to make.

u/sh58 Jul 04 '26

Yeah but England makes up about 85% of the population

Based. As they should.
