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.

IPlayer not working? Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile if you can. Looks like BT broadband is struggling or throttling it.

@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.

Criminal offence to not pay for TV licence... perhaps it should be a criminal offence to force people to pay for something that doesn't work? #iplayer #bbc #ENGIRN
