The European champions face Nigeria in the Round of 16 clash at the Women’s World Cup in Australia on Monday
BBC’s coverage of England’s crucial Round of 16 clash with Nigeria at the Women’s World Cup has come under heavy fire as the match commentary seems to be out of sync with the on-screen visuals.
Nigeria’s Ashleigh Plumptre crashed a wicked shot off the underside of the crossbar just after the quarter-hour mark in England’s encounter as the Super Falcons piled early pressure on the European champions.
But if you were watching the BBC coverage live on terrestrial TV, you heard about Plumptre’s dangerous strike from commentators Robyn Cowen and Rachel Brown-Finnis before you saw it.
The bizarre and discombobulating moment was not in isolation, and the broadcast experience was only exacerbated as Nigeria’s early salvos continued to be reported audibly seconds before their on-screen occurrence.
