ITV has come under some criticism for having its pundits preview the first match of Euro 2024.
Tournament hosts Germany take on Scotland in the first match of the long-awaited European Championship.
ITV is the broadcaster chosen to broadcast the match in the UK, with Ian Wright, Roy Keane and Graeme Souness as pundits alongside presenter Mark Pougatch.
The four remained in the studio for more than an hour as they discussed a number of topics related to Friday night’s showdown.
And fans have taken to social media to mock ITV, with some claiming ITV “can’t afford chairs”.
ITV has been criticized for making its experts stand for more than an hour.
One fan wrote on X: why are all the experts standing up? ITV can’t afford chairs?
Another said: ITV’s coverage of the opening match with Mark Pougatch and the pundits could have given them some chairs to sit in the studio.
A third posted: Why are they standing up? He took me by surprise. Maybe the chairs were not shipped on time.
Get some chairs from the experts. Sheesh’, a fourth fan insisted on X.

It is no surprise that Scotland are making the most of their time at Euro 2024, given that they have struggled to qualify for major tournaments in the past.
Euro 2024 marks their second major tournament since the 1998 World Cup, having previously competed in the Covid-delayed Euro 2020 final.
