Video taking off 24x its usual first day

England's 'Crucial Game in Prague' reel draws two dozen times normal

It is the second ITV Sport video to take off in a day, while most football channels are running below their usual pace.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 783,899 views a day, 24 times a normal first day on this channel (32,069).

ITV Sport's highlights from Czechia v England needed only seven hours to pass a third of a million views. A new upload on the channel usually takes a full day to gather a small fraction of that. This one is on course for roughly two dozen times a normal first day.

The broadcaster has had a lively stretch. Roy Keane's medals-in-the-bin reaction took off for the same channel shortly before. Elsewhere in football it has been quieter, with West Ham United, Sky Sports Retro and UnitedPeoplesTV all drawing less than they usually do.

The video is a UEFA Nations League reel, and its title bills the night as a "Crucial Game in Prague!" England have reason to remember the city. In October 2019 the Czech Republic beat them 2-1 there in a Euro 2020 qualifier, a rare defeat for England in qualifying at the time. The title keeps this match's score to itself, so the result is left for the highlights to tell.
