that's why in england, anyone with an opinion will drown out the commentators or just take the piss out of them.
After yesterday and a football manager career which saw me reach the world cup quarters thanks to a strike from him, siphiwe tshabalala is my favourite player and name.
I prefer his brother Nhlanhla Tshabalala 
(I did not make that up)

I'm just looking forward to watching Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
I've got a feeling this world cup could be another disappointment for England. England's chances of doing well looked great after a fantastic qualifying, but now everything seems to have gone down the drain - Rooney's good form interrupted by injury...Terry completely out of form...Gerrard having his worst season for as long as I can remember...Ferdinand injured etc. |

The commentators' pathetical lack of insight would be funny if it wasn't so damn sad. If Mark Lawrenson was coaching France, I guarantee they would've been humilliated.
We get this week in week out. And there's people who are just as worse on every single other channel.
Can't really think of a good commentator we currently have over here

Some good matches today. Especially looking forward to England - USA. Would be fun to see USA tear England to pieces |

Robbie Savage as co-commentator? Joke.
But indeed, we're used to poor commentators over here. Our cricket ones are very good mind.

Would be. But it's very unlikely.

I was making a tongue in cheek remark about the quality of international football in general. Even with a squad of 23 good players, the limited time a coach has to mould a team that plays with cohesion is evident. Also, no international team has 23 outstanding players, and some countries have none (North Korea, New Zealand, Japan etc etc), yet there is a regard that international football, in particular the World Cup, is the highest level achievable in the sport. Rubbish.
It's good to watch in general, though, maybe because the teams are not as well drilled tactically, and there those gaps in quality, even in 'top' nations.
France vs Uruguay last night excepted, that was snoozeworthy 
Yeah, I took a siesta too.
What more can I say? I deffo agree on everything. However, bear in mind that more the teams are getting closer to the final and more the matches will be amazing and worth - so hold on
issoisso If Mark Lawrenson was coaching France, I guarantee they would've been humilliated.
Let me guarantee you we already have our own albatross - Domenech. He'll be replaced after the WC though

Even more bad when you think it's your center forward who had to defend on a free-kick and who did that error

I like this match.
Greece has to attack due to S-Korea's early goal. And Greece sucks at attacking and now has more space in their defence, providing good opportunities for S-Korea on the counter attack |

South Korea's playing style isn't bad either. It is much more attractive than it was a few years ago |

They have more experience in the team than a few years ago. Few more European league experienced players. |
