the viewing figures for the football wont top 4 million in my opinion

I thought it was because of the Ireland/England match in mid week, the last semi was pushed back to the Saturday, as the final is usually on a Saturday I think??? I've always thought it a bit unfair on the acts who perform on the Friday show, so this in my view is better.
