World Cup Pundits

[Whore Jackie]

Reasonably impressed with Ferdinand and Henry pre-match. Even Shearer seems to have upped his game recently. Gonna hold the plaudits though, to a match where they don't know/played with most of the players.

Decent half-time. Would have guessed Henry would be eloquent, but Ferdinand's had a good start. Great insight into the Spanish centre-backs' spurious positioning for RVP's goal.

Seedorf >>> everyone else.

yep - saw him and Vialli do analysis last WC or maybe Euros. It was like watching two people who could articulate their deep understanding of their profession to give me a genuine insight. Oh well, it was good whilst it lasted.

But can they read out random tweets?

indeed - the last people I want to hear from are the fans.

Pair of jokers TyLOLdesLOLey and Townsend hopeless on the Uruguay penalty. So shit they deserve stick on two threads.

Did I hear Cannavaro, a man who can barely speak English (although to be fair, his English is far better than I can speak any other language), say that Gerrard had achieved so much in his career including 'winning the Champions League and the Premier League'?

[Royal Rother]

Rio F has certainly surprised me. Quite interesting and relatively articulate. Who'd a thought it?

Is he? I find it hard to concentrate on what he's saying for looking at his face. He can go in a split second from utterly horrified to scary psycho-killer for no discernible reason.

So now ITV are doing a poll to find out who people think should start for England even though the team has already been announced.

Well yes, there is that.

Tyldesley amd Townsend on top form again. Costa Rica is the first shock of the tournament so everyone was predicting the 5-1 result last night where they. 1-0 is never enough, well it is if you don't concede. Utter twats.

It reminded me of this:

or any time you hear posh people trying to explain what is going on at a football match.

Ferdinand advising the England defenders to kick Balotelli. Can you believe this country hasn't won a tournament for 48 years with top quality advise like that?

[davidstarkey]

Already getting so riled up by some of the punditry. Mark Lawrenson acts like a cynical schoolboy who can't be arsed to do anything except sit there making snide comments. Cannavaro, heroic footballer as he is, can't speak English. Danny Murphy saying that 'we don't know much about player x'. I know I shouldn't get annoyed by these things but it's their fcuking job to know about these things.

Best of all, as always, Tyldesley and Townsend - making out that the referee had made a huge mistake for the Uruguay penalty, realising that in fact he hadn't, and then trying to say that he had got the decision right by pure luck. Err no, you got it wrong you fcuking idiots, why not show a bit of decency and admit it.

How bad can ITV get?

Lol @ Rio being articuLOL8

[Mr Angry]

ITV are woeful; simply appalling.

BBC miles better, though Shearer is finding it difficult to keep his frustration and dislike of Thierry Henry in check (a number of times when Henry was been speaking in his languid style, punctuated with long pauses, Shearer has simply spoken over him usually changing the subject).

[Hoss]

Loved Henry's comment about the free kick being so good, he believed that he meant to hit the crossbar.

[Franchise FC]

Jonathan Pearce is already doing my head in.

The goal-line technology used for the second France goal was clear and obvious, yet he still went on about whether the tech said no goal or goal.

Then he shouts goal when the French shot clearly missed.

I'm missing the Sky team already (never thought I'd be saying that)

[Whore Jackie]

Poor old Robbie Savage. Out of his depth in comparison to Seedorf and Henry.
