Shirt of the tournament. I noticed it on some Colombian girls in the street. Well, I guess that might have influenced my feelings but it's a nice clean design without being boring.

Yipchaa!
Fuck, I was just about to say the Colombian coach looks like Alan Pardew's older brother, and then Mark Lawrenson said it

Oh, who's the commentator? I like the way he shuts the fuck up sometimes. A skill apparently lost in modern football presentation. I also like the fact he hasn't given us tactical overload. I know that Neville et al have brought analysis on from the dark ages, but sometimes it feels like things have gone too far the other way. Constant bombardment with "the full-backs cut in to block out the space...... this system only works if..........". There's an important place for that, but I'd also like listen to a commentator who builds the tension as an attack commences using the rhythm and tone of his voice. There used to be more of them who knew how to do that.
I blame Andy Gray. For everything.

Surely the way it's supposed to work is commentator for the drama, co-commentator for the analysis? Obviously that's a simplification, but that's the general rule. Of course, the trouble is most of the regulars of either camp aren't particularly good at what they're there to do.
Maybe that's a bit unfair, there are some acceptable, if not inspiring, commentators, but the co-commentators rely too heavily on big names, rather than people who are articulate and genuinely insightful.

Oh look, it's Alan Hansen! Is this his first gig this World Cup? Where's he been?!

Get rid of co-commentators. We don't need them.

Have at you, sir! A good co-com enhances your enjoyment by adding depth of understanding.
I still think there should be two feeds, one for the casuals and pub fans who need to know which player has the ball and reminded of "that night in Turin", and another one featuring analysis by people who know what the fuck they're talking about.

He can come on 5 minutes before half-time and full time then. One good commentator, doing a decent job is better than the shit jokes and matey banter that dominates now.
Barry Davies for 90 minutes, on his own. Bliss.

The frustrating thing is he can actually contribute something interesting, it's just too seldom in between the lazy gags and whinging.

I just want to watch the game to be honest. I don't have a posh telly where you can turn commentary off. Just a bit of commentary and the sound of the crowd, and some shut the fuck up from the TV channel in charge from time-to-time.

Rather enjoying the BBC tactics cam. Got the regular feed and the tactics cam running in separate windows
