Taking to Twitter, avid viewers of the daytime programmes pleaded with the channel to move the sporting event to ITV2.
One person wrote: "Errr, excuse me @ITV but where is #ThisMorning please? There's some sport-related thing on, couldn't you bang that on ITV2? How am I supposed to win Spin to Win now?" while another added: "@ITV not everyone is interested in the world Cup, putting it on at 9am and taking morning TV off is disgusting, stick it on ITV2. Bet your ratings are through the roof with this match....not!! #Lorraine #ThisMorning."
A third fan commented: "Why don't they put the football on another channel there's plenty of them this is ridiculous," while another tweeted: "Just turned on ITV for #ThisMorning and it's football," alongside several crying face emojis.
