Piers Morgan criticises 'disrespectful' BBC World Cup decision as Gary Lineker praised for opener

Piers Morgan has slammed BBC for their coverage of the World Cup opener between Qatar and Ecuador after watchers were left confused by the opening ceremony.

Due to the Women's Super League clash between Chelsea and Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, spectators may have missed BTS' performance alongside Morgan Freeman with it being shown online and on the red button instead of easily accessible coverage.

This is a far cry from the attention that Andrea Bocelli got at Euro 2020 with his rendition of Nessun Dorma, though those that did watch were largely complimentary of the spectacle on show at the Al Bayt stadium.
