YouTube Blackout in Middle of England Match
US viewers watching the England v Croatia football World Cup semi-final on YouTube TV were left frustrated when the service went down in the middle of the match.
The outage also disrupted viewing of a men's quarter-final match at Wimbledon.
YouTube apologised, acknowledging "the timing is horrible". Service was resumed half an hour later, the firm said.
Fans vented their annoyance on social media.
It is not the first time the service has gone down at a crucial moment. In May it blacked out during a key NBA (National Basketball Association) match.
In a tweet announcing the service was back, YouTube said it "understood the frustration".
