The BBC has also been criticised for the general cheerleading nature of its presenters and interviewers, with the likes of Gary Lineker and Gabby Logan coming under fire.
Interestingly, pundit Alex Scott, who represented England 140 times before retiring in 2017, did actually apologise on air at one point for using the word 'we'.
The BBC will look into it although I'm pretty sure Alan Shearing would just tell the whingers to fook off!!
You'd think that people would work out that footballers aren't that bright and that the panel all have one thing in common - they played football for England.
Had to be reported in Wales Online that well known anti-English news forum .. :-)

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I'm Welsh, but have absolutely no objection to their bias, I'm glad the media are backing them for a change.
Try listening to the Scottish commentators/pundits in their matches, and same for Wales etc...
I go out in the world and make my own mind up.
Much less anger that way.
Now, I genuinely couldnt give a shit what a bunch of suits do on the idiot box.
Ignorance is bliss.
Edit: But i get the OP's point. The BBC should be unbiased. They could have had Ally McCoist, Aaron Ramsey, and Roy Keane to repseent the other countries of the UK, so as to provide some regional input UK. Or possibly a former Italian player (e.g. Gianfranco Zola), since Italians can provide dispassionate commentary as they're not involved. Or even say Tim Howard from the USA, who played many years in England. Arsene Wenger is free, why not grab him for a couple of games?
Being as England are the only British team in the competition, what are they supposed to do?
Cheer the Russians on!
I'm not going to look for it in YouTube, because just thinking about it makes me smile.
That'd make for great telly.
I saw Lineker once. He was a passenger in a black Range Rover near the BBC Studios in Cardiff.
He was laughing.

It's hilarious how carried away so many people seem to be already. We've beaten Tunisia and Panama. PANAMA! That world superpower of football!
I seriously reckon that me and 10 well-selected mates could beat them.
