Sky sport and whoever they get their feed from are a bunch of morons who haven’t got a clue about technology or sports fans.
What sort of ignorant fool would think that when you have the technology to view an event retrospectively it is a good idea to show snippets of one live event during a simultaneous live event, totally negating any desire one might have to watch the other event later.
Not terribly bright those people.

Assume you're referring to the final round of group games where they are showing goals from the other game happening at the same time. Understand the frustration with it, but when the outcome for the teams in the one you're watching depends on the result in the other game, it's probably not going to be possible to avoid hearing or seeing what's happening in the other one. I notice it only seems to be the Sky Sport 7 feed that show the goals from the other game, but the commentators on the other channel say if there's been a goal and they show the updated standings etc in the other one too. Even if they didn't say anything, everyone at the stadium knows and you'll be able to see from the celebrations of lack thereof what's happened.
This won't be suitable for everyone but I've been mainly watching the one I think is most interesting on the TV (ie, where both teams are still playing for progression) while having the other game on my phone so I can check in every so often, knowing that it's not going to be possible to get through one then watch the other not knowing anything.
Think it's only the 3rd round of group stage games where this happens and there won't be any other rounds with two games going on simultaneously.
