I can't believe Andy Townsend is on the UK's World Cup coverage. He's the worst commentator in history.

Where's Mick McCarthy? :angry:

Why does ESPN hire Alexi Lalas? It's a bit like hiring a middle school softball coach to put on a broadcast team during the World Series.

Wish I could watch the game, but what an upset it would be if Brazil didn't win this game!

He talks down to guys that he has no right to even be on the set with. He got into it with Ballack a ton, was just arguing with Roberto Martinez, other world class players

Rakitic needs to play in a more advanced role. He's not comfortable there. Ney is playing great.

Yeah, but it looked really empty when the second half started. I wouldn't want to miss a second.

Great, impartial officiating.

Neymar could break someone's leg, and they'd send that player off for daring to have his bone in the way of Neymar's holy foot.

lol @ the commentator calling out Olic for diving in the box. No contact with Alves so no foul, but he tripped on his own leg, and it's not like he ran to the reff afterward yelling for a foul (unlike some players on the field right now :lol: )
