BBC World Cup Line up announced

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

Not bad, I like Big Ange, not much time for Townsend though.

Hopefully they add Kaz Carney and Clarence Seedorf to that line up.

Hopefully the his tactics truck is parked up in the Bronx.


Ps. I know it's the wrong Townsend

 

[HorsePills]

While there are a few there I'm not keen on Rooney has to be the worst.

 

[Rocky77]

I remember Emma Hayes was on one year and she gave more tactical insight in one half time than Roy Keane has in his entire punditry career.

 

[Hendon Mad Frog]

Rooney is dull as owt

I've been hearing more of him recently with his BBC podcast and that and I'm starting to think he might not be wired up reet.

Seems fairly socially inept, struggles to string a coherent sentence together and used alcohol a lot of his life as a coping mechanism.

Where’s lineker

On the big beautiful wall on the US-Mexico border with the cocaine smugglers testing Big Ds southern defences and totally unaware the veteran ex soccer player Alexi Lala's waiting State side to sweep him up.

Emma Hayes probably aswell

 

[wigwams]

Don’t really care about the studio stuff as never watch but fuck me when Shearer speaks on co comms

 

[jaxaxe]

Completely forgot Benni McCarthy existed, blast from the past

Initially thought it might be Mick.

It's a sign you are getting old when they have even updated the McCarthys.

 

[Dick Fitzwell]

Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan and Alex Scott front BBC Sport’s TV coverage throughout the tournament. Broadcasting from BBC Sport’s home in Salford, a brand new, state of the art immersive studio will transport viewers to 16 cities across three host nations – Canada, Mexico and the USA.

They’re joined by an unrivalled line up of football royalty, including former England stars Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney, Micah Richards, Joe Hart, Paul Robinson, Steph Houghton, Ellen White and Danny Murphy. Representing Scotland are Scott Brown, Rachel Corsie and James McFadden, while World Cup winner Olivier Giroud, Gaël Clichy, César Azpilicueta, Benni McCarthy, Ashley Williams and Thomas Frank add global insight and international edge. Former international referee Darren Cann completes the team, bringing expert analysis from the heart of the game.

World-class commentary comes from Guy Mowbray, Steve Wilson, Steve Bower, Jonathan Pearce, Robyn Cowen, Steven Wyeth and Liam McLeod, with Alan Shearer, Danny Murphy, Stephen Warnock, Efan Ekoku, Martin Keown, Sue Smith, Rachel Corsie, James McFadden and Paul Robinson providing expert co commentary. Alternative BBC Radio 5 Live commentary will also be available on selected BBC TV fixtures whilst an Audio Description service (AD) will be made available for the first time on all TV Live games to assist the blind or partially sighted community.

 

[Rocky77]

Ashley Williams has 86 international caps and played in a major tournament semi final. He's got more international experience than Thomas Frank for example

He also isn't very insightful though

He also isn't very insightful though

There is far worse than him, he's not that bad tbh

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

BBC are so tinpot these days it's embarrassing. Even ITV are better now.

 

[walls end bob]

On holiday, not really interested in national team. Roll on season 2026/27. Haway the lads.

I can't believe Shearer is the only drag queen as well.

 

[Mr.Thunders]

I see the bbc is still run by puffs and jews*

*This is from extras and I'm taking the piss before the report button is hammered

 

[Julio Mackemo]

Completely agree, his level of analysis is terrible.

If you've been unfortunate to see his CBS contribution for the Champions League too, that's even worse.

Think it's more the bantz with him tbh.... He is a character and is far better than watching Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand, for example.

ITV have a studio based in New York

Pougatch, Woods, Wright, Neville, Keane, Townsend, Big Ange so far

Far better than the BBC that ^

Where’s lineker

Rest is Football

I remember Emma Hayes was on one year and she gave more tactical insight in one half time than Roy Keane has in his entire punditry career.

She was superb tbh
