Just three minutes into the game against USA the channel – which promised to show the World Cup in more detail than ever before – cut to a Hyundai ad.

This meant fans who were watching the high definition broadcast, didn’t see Liverpool ace Gerrard score.

In fact the first they knew about it was when the 24 second interruption ended and the match returned to screens, with a 1-0 scoreline and Fabio Capello celebrating.

More than 1m fans are said to have shelled out on a HDTVs specifically to watch England games in HD at home… something they are no doubt regretting.

Drinkers in pubs couldn’t believe what had happened and scrambled to call friends or access the internet on their mobile phones in a bid to catch up on the latest action.

During half-time Adrian Chiles told fans who had experienced the blunder: “Apologies for those watching on HD, I understand there were some interruptions to your coverage.”
