Fans fume as ITV Hub crashes leaving viewers unable to watch France vs Switzerland – and miss Swiss taking shock lead
ITV HUB viewers were left furious after the streaming platform collapsed during France's clash with Switzerland.
Many fans tuned in online to watch the Euro 2020 last-16 clash on Monday night.
Yet their picture froze only three minutes into the match, as Switzerland's Ricardo Rodriguez prepared to take a corner.
Unhappy viewers poured onto social media to vent their anger at the issue.
Twitter user Gio posted online: "This game is so exciting. ITV hub letting me watch this corner for 10 minutes in a row."
Alex wrote: "I've heard of time wasting but Ricardo Rodriguez taking 10 minutes to take a corner in the 3rd minute is taking the p***. Cheers ITV hub."
Amy joked: "Rumour has it, Switzerland are still taking the corner over on the itv hub."
Matthew tweeted: "ITV hub is absolutely dire. Watched Ricardo Rodriguez take this b****** corner 4 times now, shambles."
And another viewer joined in: "Trying to watch France Vs Switzerland on ITV Hub. The tension is killing me. I wonder how this corner will go. No matter how many times I refresh it get's stuck here. Sort it out ITV."
Rodriguez's corner was something of an anticlimax and world champions France for quickly up the pitch for a chance of their own.
But the timing of the problem meant many viewers missed France conceding an opener to Haris Seferovic after 15 minutes.
ITV responded to complaints and tweeted: "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties and working on getting services back as soon as possible."
