When Clive Tyldesley announced over the summer that he'd been dropped by ITV as their main commentator - meaning he was no longer on duty for England games, fans went into uproar. 

Tyldesley has been the voice of ITV Sport for decades and this week's game against Wales provided new No.1 Sam Matterface his first game as the channel's new face, alongside former defenders Chris Coleman and Lee Dixon in the booth.

But though Tyldesley is no longer ITV's choice, he is returning for the England Vs. Belgium game on Sunday - thanks to Bud Light, the official beer of the England senior men’s team.  

Clive will be taking over the Bud Light UK Twitter account (@BudLightUK) from 5pm, while fans can watch with the commentary legend by following the self-explanatory hashtag, #WatchWithClive.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
