FANS were left fuming as both the BBC and ITV opted not to show the Women’s World Cup’s closing ceremony.
The tournament wraps up today with England taking on Spain for ultimate glory.
As is customary, there was an official closing ceremony in front of a packed stadium pre-game.
But both channels showing the match in the UK opted not to show it in full.
One fan tweeted: “Great start, BBC talking over the final ceremony and ITV not even showing it.”
And a second wrote: “Why is ITV so behind, BBC isn’t showing the closing ceremony how odd.”

A third blasted: “BBC talking over the closing ceremony. ITV not even showing it. Bit disrespectful.”
Another fumed: “@GabbyLogan @AlexScott so ignorant. The closing ceremony is on and you both continue to talk over it.
“@BBCSport why would you leave the closing ceremony and go to the zoo. The ceremony is what we would be watching if it was a men’s World Cup or olympics.”
The closing ceremony was available to watch in full on BBC iPlayer.

But on BBC One, they decided to talk over it, instead continuing their pre-match build-up.
Coverage of the tournament has generally been well received in the UK.
Most fans have loved Alex Scott’s punditry on the BBC.
While ITV’s Laura Woods is one of the most popular presenters in the country.
England’s hearts were broken however as they lost the final 1-0.
Olga Carmona scored the only goal of the game in the 29th minute.
Sadly England couldn’t fight back despite Mary Earps’ dramatic penalty save in the second half.
