BBC World Cup Line up announced

Micah Richards' broadcasting career is absolutely bewildering to me. This weekend he was on the BBC's FA Cup coverage, then the whole day on Sky's Sunday coverage.

Why?

It's not his career. He only played about 200 club games, won a grand total of 2 trophies. Played about a dozen games for England - never made it to an international tournament. By contrast, Wayne Rooney played around 3 times as many club games, 10 times as many international games.

And maybe I'm missing something, but he doesn't strike me as a very good broadcaster either. Zero insight, a Soccer AM-standard banter merchant.

Apparently he earns £200k from the BBC alone. Stealing a living.

Cringeworth pundit as well. There to pretend it's great crack and banter. Belongs on Sky sports or some other chatty channel

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.

Hmmmm ... but on the plus side, they don't have Gary Neville.
