      The Lionesses roared into the last 16 with a stunning 6-1 win over China in their final game in Group D.
      And now the nation is tuning in to BBC One to see whether they can build on that incredible victory and advance to the semi finals.
      However, an annoying time-lapse meant that the commentary on the game was actually a couple of seconds AHEAD of the action.
      And fans quickly took to Twitter to vent their fury as they urged the Beeb to get it sorted as quickly as possible.

      One asked: “Anyone else’s BBC commentary out of sync with the pictures?
      “Knew that shot had hit the bar and Mary Earps had made a save about a second before they happened.”

      Another raged: “If I have to pay a license fee the BBC could at least make sure their pictures and commentary are in sync.”
      A fellow viewer fumed: “The BBC commentary being a couple of seconds ahead of the cameras is really killing the suspense of #ENGNGA, to be honest.”

      While a fellow fan demanded: “Why is the commentary out?! Sort it BBC.”
      It was a major own goal for BBC – especially after viewers had earlier declared that they could not “get enough” of Alex Scott ahead of England’s crunch showdown.

      AMIR Khan’s wife Faryal has hit back at claims she threatened to “destroy” an ex-BBC presenter who alleged the boxer made sexual advances to her.Suzi Mann accused Faryal of messaging her from Amir’s Twitter account after it “became clear” she had seen texts between the pair.

      Suzi, 45, claimed Faryal, 32, had initially pretended to be her husband before becoming “vile and abusive”.
      In an Instagram post, Suzi said she met Amir, 36, when she hosted a concert in Manchester in 2016, three years after he married Faryal.
      She says he began sending her with WhatsApp messages, calls and voicemails days after they met, alleging he made unwanted sexual advances.
      Amir denied the allegations, saying he does not remember Suzi and claiming she “is jumping on the bandwagon”.

      And model Faryal, mum to Amir’s three kids, today blasted the claims.
      She told The Sun: “This is all untrue. Amir has denied the accusations and doesn’t even remember this woman.
      “And what’s confusing is, why has it taken her seven years to address this?
      “She claims I said I’d ‘destroy’ her… it’s a load of rubbish.
      Most read in Boxing
      “I’ve never messaged her on Twitter – I don’t even remember ever seeing this woman’s face.”
      Suzi, who hosted the BBC Asian Network’s Official Asian Music Chart Show, made her comments after The Sun on Sunday revealed Amir had been sexting bridal model Sumaira, 25.
      We also told last month how he had cheated on Faryal with a 30-year-old brunette during a four-month affair.
      He and Faryal are now “living separately”.
      Bolton-born former world champ Amir is trying to heal the rift between them, and splashed out on a new £130,000 Mercedes G Wagon for her last week.
      He got it delivered wrapped in red ribbons and with a bouquet of red roses.
      But Faryal appeared stony-faced in a video of her getting behind the wheel of the motor in Dubai.

      She says she did not feel “comfortable” and chose not to “entertain” the advances before allegedly receiving a message from Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom threatening to “destroy” her.
      In an explosive post on Instagram earlier this week, Ms Mann, a single mum, told her 19,000 followers: “I first met Amir Khan in 2016 whilst I was hosting Arijit Singh in Manchester!
      “A couple of days after the concert, I started receiving WhatsApp messages from an unknown number, with someone claiming to be Amir Khan!
      “I immediately had to ask, actor or boxer? Unfortunately it was the latter!

      “On a more serious note, these messages continued and then I started to receive calls and voicemails from Amir Khan himself.
      “Now I’ve been in this industry too long to not know when someone is flirting and making sexual advances.

      “This was not something I felt comfortable with and I chose to not entertain it, but remained professional.”
      Most read in Boxing
      Ms Mann, who presented the Official Asian Music Chart Show, claims it was then that Khan’s wife launched a tirade of “vile, abusive and uncalled for” attacks.
      The former presenter claimed: “It was apparent she had gotten hold of his phone and seen all the messages he had been sending me.
      “She then proceeded to message me pretending to be him, which was immediately obvious because she appeared to have (at the time), a few more brain cells than him.”
      Ms Mann went on to claim women have “fallen for his lies” – either “reciprocated his advances or… actively pursued relationships”.
      And she accused the pair of going “out of their way” to “abuse, blackmail, insult and threaten women”.
      The presenter said she chose to call Khan and his wife out because “enough is enough”.
      The Sun has approached Amir Khan’s and his wife Faryal Makhdoom’s representatives for comment.
      It comes as we revealed Khan begged a model to send him revealing pictures and tried to meet up with her in the run-up to his 10th wedding anniversary.
      He told influencer Sumaira, 25, “U look good on g string” and suggested she had a “boob job”.
      Khan and wife Faryal, 31, have reportedly split following the sexting scandal – spending time between homes in Britain and Dubai.

      A source close to the Khan family told MailOnline: “Faryal is taking time to think about whether or not to walk away.
      “She’s going through a very difficult time and choosing to focus on her children while she and Amir continue to co-parent.”

      And his business acumen has landed him a role on Dragons’ Den
      But becoming a Dragon is simply the culmination of more than a decade of savvy decisions that have seen his business portfolio bring in tens of millions of pounds every year.
      Neville owns a chain of hotels and townhouses after first getting into property development in his early 20s.
      Among his prize assets are a string of hotels and development projects.
      His investments include Hotel Football, a luxury hotel overlooking Old Trafford, and the stunning Stock Exchange Hotel near Piccadilly Gardens.

      He is also part of the £120million St Michael’s Project, which aims to build apartments, hotels, offices and a high-end restaurant in the city centre.
      However, the 48-year-old’s business stakes do not end there.
      League Two side Salford City are perhaps his most famous investment alongside fellow members of the Class of 92′.
      He founded “Relentless” – an investment company who specialise in ventures around the Manchester area – in 2015, while also running property and construction consultancy firm “Zerum”.

      His use of the name “Relentless” has a particular affinity with Neville.
      Writing on his website, he said: “‘Relentless’ is my favourite word and sums up my approach to life, business, everything really.”
      He adds these vision and values “are embedded within the fabric of everything that we do”.
      Neville even has his fingers in show production, co-founding Buzz 16 in 2017.
      The firm’s work can be credited on programmes such as The Overlap, Soccerbox and Class of 92 Full Time.
      In February, he sold his controlling stake in the company for a reported fee of £200m.
      Before leaving the venture in 2019 he was also a senior investor in E3 Creative, a digital creative agency who specialise in online marketing and corporate strategy.
      GG Hospitality, a hospitality management company, are another of Neville’s ventures, along with a higher education institution named University Academy 92.

      And despite not making it in management, the former England international has moved into commentary.
      Off the field, Neville has also become a successful businessman, with a chain of hotels and townhouses.
      He owns the Hotel Football overlooking Old Trafford, an apartment block in Manchester with Ryan Giggs and League Two side Salford City.
      His £750-a-night Stock Exchange Hotel – also shared with Giggs – boasts of a luxury penthouse, roof terrace and kitchen run by Tom Kerridge.

      So it leaves him well positioned to judge wannabe entrepreneurs on BBC’s popular business programme.
      Neville said: “I am excited to join the Dragons, and to meet the entrepreneurs brave enough to face us in the Den.
      “I hope my personal journey shows that you can take the experiences you’ve had in one part of your career and use them to do something entirely different and make it a success.
      “Business is all about managing people and managing yourself and I’m looking forward to sharing my experience to help the entrepreneurs we’ll meet in the Den reach their potential.”

      Dragons’ Den gives business hopefuls the chance to pitch their product to the multi-millionaire panel, who have the choice to invest.
      The show’s most successful contestants have gone on to achieve net worths of £30-£70MILLION.

      Neville will join London-born and US-based fashion mogul Emma Grede as guests on the panel.
      They will sit alongside Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Sara Davies and Steven Bartlett for series 21.
      The show returns on BBC One and iPlayer in 2024 with filming currently taking place in Manchester, where Neville made his name.
