There is a pattern emerging already I think.

Number 11 was also a low point for me (the guys at Sky must have been laughing their pants off). It's not the first time that has happened on ITV though. I remember watching an FA Cup tie last season (or was it the season before?) between Liverpool and Everton. The game was 0-0 and went into extra time. In the 27th minute of ET, ITV cut to an advert about cars. When the muppets eventually sorted it out and switched back to the game, Everton had scored and the game was effectively over.
By the way, I also agree that James Corden's World Cup Live was terrible...
