You have to laugh at a lot of what he says just because it is so ridiculous.

Funniest thing I have heard in a while was yesterday and Martin Keown describing Raphael Varane and telling us all he has 'international sprinting ability', what the hell?

I love the pause after he tries to say something funny.

Steve Wilson is a very good commentator. Him and Guy Mowbray are the best there

Wouldn't be surprised if the BBC gets some complaints for Lawro with his 'he should of put a skirt on' comment (followed by obligatory awkward silence) about a weak shot in the earlier game. Remember there was a hoo-haa about Robbie Fowler saying something about 'playing like a girl'.

Be interesting to see the viewing figures tonight. Can't imagine why anybody would want to watch it on Itv, but there bound to be some. Bbc should get over 90% of the viewers, just showing how awful itv's coverage is,

What summed up the difference for me was the Brazil v Germany coverage on BBC (pprofessional and insightful) against Chiles and Cannavaro talking about the game before the Holland v Argentina game with awful insight and even the suggestion Germany should have stopped scoring after 5!? To add,Chiles getting overexcited even a day after the Germany game, could you imagine how bad Chiles would have been to listen to if ITV covered that game live?

No brainer, BBC for me.

Rio Ferdinand has impressed me this tournament. In his previous media appearances he's always come across as a bit thick.

[Beliall]

He must have had a script

Yeah I said this in another thread a few days ago, I can't stand the man, but this tournament he has spoken a lot of sense.
