Who has been your best and worst TV pundit at this World Cup so far?
Best has got to be Clarence Seedorf who has been a pleasure to listen to. Speaks better English than Shearer and Hansen.
Worst is Adebayor who I'm not convinced is even speaking English. Strange choice.

However, didn't Okocha have a disastrous dabble with it?

Best Alan Shearer Worst Adebayor for the same reason you stated.
Life time achievement award for punditry goes to Ron Atkinson.

Surely the lack of quality in this WC makes an argument for the next one to be on Sky Sports only with highlights given to the BBC more vaild.

I've not heard them all as to be honest I'd rather formulate my own opinions than listen to pundits tell me what I think. However I do like Alan Hansen myself. I know some don't like him because he always sides with the defence but he usually talks straight and in a way very similar to Natasha doesn't shy away from the brutal review. If someone has been awful, he will say they've been awful.
Worst for me is Edgar Davids, doesn't look like he can manage speaking never mind saying interesting things.

That will never happen because I think the government wants the whole country to be able to watch it and not everybody has Sky.

Some people don't have sky? Then they're clearly not interested in football. Balls to them. I'm sick of watching these amateurs!

To be honest I dont want Sky to have the world cup because then football in this country will official have been totally whored to Sky. It has always been on BBC and ITV and it should stay that way.

I don't mind the BBC coverage due to there being no adverts.

Give me Gary over Richard Keys any day of the week....that guy is creepy. Plus Sky have that tosspot Jamie Redknapp on all the time, what right has he got to tell other players they haven't performed...he made a career out of doing just that.

Nah Gary Lineker's not so bad. He's a bit smug but considering he's still one of the best England players in the last 25 years and is the only Englishman on BBC or ITV who has actually been there and done it - and done it well. I find his tales about 1986 and 1990 far more interesting than the sob stories of Africa I know that.
Edit: Shearer aside, but his voice is just boring as sin.

I don't care at all, I can understand them all. The build up to the games is good, and the football in this 2nd round has been such an improvement.
Sky do have the best pundits and commentators, but BBC and ITV are good also. I like listening too what they have to say and I think most talk a good game. I would say Edgar Davids isn't suited for the T.V from the looks of things, he does look like he's ready to watch in 3D[jokes] he just seems to have little dialogue.
Anyway, both have done good jobs[apart from the HD ITV missing the England goal], and the World Cup should stick to BBC and ITV.

It is funny how many "we's" the plastic paddy's and the taffs are coming out with during the finals, I realise that Lawrenson and Townsend are both actually English but they still both opted for other nations and the worst is Chris Coleman who is quite obviously welsh.

Best commentators of this tournament ahev to be from teh BBC - seem far more credible than Chiles and co on ITV!
Although the best named commentator has to be from the RTE coverage. Pundit being...... George Hamilton!

Best - Jamie Redknapp. A lot of people don't like him but for me he's a confident speaker that gets his message across clearly and provides a decent analysis on Sky.
Worst - Tony Adams. He's the worst ever, he just sits there in silence for most of the time while the replay video analysis is playing. Adebayor I can't understand a word he is saying, but at least he's stringing a sentence together unlike Davids that just makes Dutch porno noises... uurrhhhhhh

For some reason I like Adebayor, he talks at about 100mph, but if you listen closely he says some good stuff.

Well, as usual, I was at the bar last night and they showed the two matches from both ITV 1 and ITV 4 (as RTE only show 1 match and the other being on RTE online). Funny thing is whatever was meant to be live on ITV1 in the 30 minutes before the match was a complete lie as ITV 4 (which was showing the exact same pre-games shite) was almost 1 minute ahead of ITV 1!
therefore yet again ITV making false claims of something being live on ITV1 when it wasn't!
