The best commentary team are clive tyldesley and david pleat on itv. Can't stand lawro's unfunny asides, he gets more camp by the match. They only squeeze about 5 mins analysis after the game between breaks on itv though, you could see ruud gullit last night thinking is that it! Chris Waddle on five live is good as well.
There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can.

The BBC just won it with that brilliantly deadpan Renault ad spoof by Chiles :)

Hansen, Leonardo and O'Neill is the best lineup of pundits too.

Did someone say David Pleat.........he makes the rest seem footballing professors. He really is clue-less without the clue.

BBC. Leonardo has been my favourite pundit at this World Cup by far. O'Neill and Hansen aren't too shabby either.

Clive Tyldesley never shuts up with his constant smug asides throughout the course of the game. As for ITV's theme tune, have you ever heard a more insipid cover version of 'Heroes'?
