Amateur hour at @BBCSport / @BBCOne with iPlayer not working for England's opening World Cup game. Supposed to be a national broadcaster - looks increasingly like a circus.

Glad to see that people's disgust at England playing in the world cup has caused the BBC's iPlayer to crash due to huge demand.....

@GaryLineker @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Well it's at least partly true as it wasn't on terrestrial TV. Sat in staff room in work - most people missed it as they didn't know it was on Red Button or IPlayer.
