What is the England ITV curse, and when did they last win a game broadcast on channel?
England's record on ITV is dreadful but they will be looking to end the 'curse' against the Colombians in Moscow
England fans are nervously waiting to see if the Three Lions can progress to the World Cup quarter-finals.
But many are already despairing that the curse of ITV could strike once again.
What is the England ITV curse?
Since the 1998 tournament in France, England's tournament record on ITV has been nothing short of abysmal.
During this period the BBC has shown 13 games, which have finished in 9 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
That's a pretty decent record.
But then you move onto games shown on their fellow broadcaster, and things are rather different.
Of the 11 games broadcast on ITV, the Three Lions have won just ONE.
The other ten finished with five draws and five defeats.
That includes the loss to Belgium in the group stages, whereas the wins over Tunisia and Panama were both on the Beeb.
WORLD CUP LATEST
When did they last win a game broadcast on the channel?
England's solitary tournament win shown on ITV in the last 20 years came in the 2006 World Cup.
It was the 2-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago, where the Golden Generation needed two late goals from Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard to avoid embarrassment.
There's an easy way for everyone to avoid the curse of course - turn off the TV and listen to live commentary on talkSPORT instead!
