I didn’t see it, but the directorial management won’t be the BBC’s as criticised above. In major tournaments, it’s usual for ‘home’ broadcasters (in this case, Denmark) to provide the kit, technical support, and franchise (?) the captured images to worldwide audiences as required, with visiting media teams (subject to local health rules this year) adding their own commentary and pish summarising. This will be particularly relevant where the tournament’s being held in mutiple locations rather than a single country as it is this/last year.

I’d imagine that there will be BBC crews at both UK venues being used for the 2021-20 bunfecht, and that some poor saps in Myanmar and El Salvador will get up in the middle of the night to watch it.

I’m glad to hear that the boy seems to be recovering.

Well done Finland too. I went to an HJK match when I was there in 2003. The match was OK, but the ‘occasion’ had all sorts of marketing ****e on the pitch as entertainment, which was pish.
