Mark Pougatch leads the coverage, as he has done throughout this tournament for ITV.

Joining him in a punditry team five-a-side of sorts is Karen Carney, Patrick Vieira, Gary Neville, Ian Wright and Roy Keane.

This particular quintet are vastly experienced on the international stage having made countless appearances at major tournaments for their countries combined.

Undoubtedly, there will be disagreements over key talking points but once again, coverage is expected to be almost as entertaining as the match itself.

In the commentary booth from Dallas, ITV have gone with Sam Matterface as lead-commentator and Lee Dixon alongside him in the co-comms role.

Those two have been putting some serious miles in throughout this tournament.
