Why you should avoid the TIMES NOW channel if you are looking for football news and analysis
Yes, the great football experts at TIMES NOW added the 3 penalties converted by Turkey and one by the Croats to the score line and showed it as 4 goals scored by Turkey and 2 by Croatia. The statistics also show that Turkey had only two shots at goal. So how did they manage to score 4 goals when only two shots were on target? How does one score a goal in football without the shot being on target?
What I cannot understand is that how no one in the news channel noticed it - the presenters, the camera guys, the production guys and everyone else who is involved in bringing news to us. Surely someone in the organization must know a little about football.
Now to give you a cricket perspective of this football blunder. Imagine a Twenty-20 game which has a bowl-out. Team A loses 9 wickets during the game and team B hits the stumps five times during the bowl-out. Then TIMES NOW’s analysis would have shown Team A lose 14 wickets in the game. That is how bad they are. Continue watching TIMES NOW if that is not bad enough for you

It is the worst English news channel in india and they generally suck with everything except an attitude.
I once saw a CNN-IBN sports editor describe Badrinath as a talented left hander who uses the slog sweep well! WT?
BTW… you were pretty sharp to get a screen of that error… IP TV?

No man ….the great people on TIMES NOW had this match analysis table on the screen for a good 3-4 minutes. They needed all that time to show us the great analysis they had done. That gave me enough time to first get a shock, then regain my senses and take a pic on my camera phone

and also the english….the output editor does not notice that it should be “goals scored” and not “goal scored”
