TV Coverage after two games...............

BBC 1 ITV 0

BBC slicker.............More Knowledgeable - Adrian Childs comes across as an usophisticated 'Baggy' Lout with a downer on England, the only good thing ITV has is Andy Townsend, who in IMO is 'top drawer'.

Gareth Southgate is on ITV aswell, who i think is a good analyst.

Really?????? I think he's poor, and can't be bothered to get the player's names pronounced correctly!

Southgate is awful in every sense of the word

I have to say I'm enjoying Mick McCarthy just for the accent.

I usually prefer the Beeb, but why in f**ks name have they got Emmanuel Adebayor as a pundit?

And come to think of it, why the hell do they still employ Garth Crooks?

(For the record, I'm not a racist! ;) :lol: )

Plus............one minute they were talking about the Team selection, then trip to Rorkes Drift, then back to Heskey, then the North Koreans at the Zoo............WTF????

Plus we have Bugs Bunny, A Frog, and ex. manager that can't pronounce an H, and has walked out on his last few jobs, and finally, a BAGGY that thinks he knows football, but he couldn't even stay put at the BBC with one of the World's tastiest bits of totty! :oops:

DISASTER!

1-1

Greeny drops a bollock - I suppose we could say................We were 'ROBBED' :lol:

[Oundle Diamond #2]

For all those people who prefer ITV, at least the BBC show the goals and don't go to an advert break in the middle of the flipping match causing us to miss a goal.

Useless bunch of amateurs.

Was anyone else affected by the ITV HD saga?

[Bob's Bitch]

HD is always way behind SD so I never bother with it. However surely now ITV should be stripped of England events, they just can't do sport and as has been said adverts all the time really gets on my tits.

As for the game, watching that ball trickle into the net was sooooo painful. Make no bones about it the US are shite, lots of physical ability but nothing else. They didn't deserve a point tonight and Heskey and Lennon both should've scored. Oh well on to Algeria, I fully expect 6 points from 6.

GREAT REPLY - 7 points from 9 ?????????? - We can hope!

[rudolph_hucker]

Andy Townsend really irritates the hell out of me. I listen to him on Talksport but only because of Mike (the legend) Parry.
