Just wondering how many viewers Emmerdale and Corrie will get tonight considering they’re up against Wales vs England on the BBC at the same time - you’d think ITV would’ve seen sense and not put them on? As I remember when England played on an evening in the 2018 World Cup none of the soaps were on at the same time

No but there are people who don’t have the Hub don’t forget
They probably have a PVR recorder though.
I watched last night's episode on the hub at 7pm because I couldn't be bothered to wait until 9.15 (plus I wanted to watch the repeat of Endeavour on ITV3 from 8 till 10). I quite like having the flexibility.
That was the only evening kick off for BBC with an England game
ITV had 3 7pm England games, did BBC shut down for the night during these?
I like the flexibility when and how to stream the soaps these days. I wish they would continue boxsetting the ITV soaps beyond the World Cup because of the launch of ITVX. I know it won't. I prefer choosing my own time to watch the likes of Emmerdale and Coronation Street.
I believe it was Vera, I can’t remember what the BBC did on the nights ITV had the England games that year, but C4 moved an episode of Ackley Bridge on the night England played Columbia.
Christmas. Big Soap Weeks, or if a character snuffs it
I'm avoiding watching because I don't agree with it being in Qatar.
Agreed. I don’t watch anything on the Beeb.
