Maybe they are happy to just look for the occasional counter for 80 minutes or until they fall behind.

It wouldn't be the first or last time that an underdog has prioritised keeping it tight over trying to create chances, even when a win is necessary.

 

Just didn't see that being the approach and such has been the case.

God this commentator is irritating.

Bit too much diversity going on for diversity sake, especially at the BBC. And it's not exclusive to football

People will seriously sit through Jonathan Pearce and Clive Tyldesley without batting an eyelid but the toys are out the pram if the commentator lacks a Y chromosome. 

 

Christ. 

It's not the fact she's a woman, it's the fact that she's a rubbish commentator with an annoying tone. Her co-commentator being Keown doesn't help matters, either.

I really don't think she's any worse than plenty of others out there tbh. 

 

She just stands out more because she's a woman. 

[Ian Nacho]

Red button for 5 live commentary!!!!! It's actually not terrible. 

[Brooksy]

Someone please tell Martin Keown to stop breathing 

[MC Prussian]

C‘mon, Morocco!

It‘s got to go in at some point.

[foxes_rule1978]

Portugal are so lucky, they would be no where without Ronaldo 

[Finnegan]

How the **** is Guerrero still on the pitch? 

 

Every single time I look up he's kicking someone. 

[Tuna]

Vicky Sparks is ok, I'm not really bothered by her commentary.

 

Better than idiots like Sam Matterface prattling on about a player being the same height as "Mel from Mel And Sue" or Jonathan Pearce - remember this:

 

"They've changed their minds" 

 

 

[Brooksy]

I don't mind Jonathan Pearce, probably because of this

When Martin Keown is explaining something to you, you know you're being a bit thick 

[urban.spaceman]

Portugal getting crucified down their right hand side. Maybe they should bring on another right back?

I agree. She probably does stand out because she's a woman.

 

I have to admit I had to ask questions about myself while listening to her. I've thought about it, though, and it is just her, not all women. She sounds like she's doing a bad Alan Partridge impression through her nose.

 

Just as people shouldn't be discriminated against for things they have no say in, I don't believe they should get a pass or special treatment because of them, either.

 

I'm with you on Pearce. He's got no business in commentary.

[foxfanazer]

Portugal have been really poor here. Just fortunate Morocco can’t score for shit 

[Mrfox452]

As a Portugal fan, I'm fed up of this pile of shit Santos continues to serve up.

 

It's beyond depressing. ****ing get rid!

Dive

 

and again

What a fvcking embarrassment, Ronaldo should be booked for that.

[Manwell Pablo]

That is not a foul Martin Keown

[Finnegan]

Ronaldo diving then asking for a replay of his own dive. That's a new level of hilarious

[Amin]

Great bit of delayed reaction there.

[urban.spaceman]

Silva's coming on!

[Brooksy]

Eh up Silvas coming on
