Thank heaven for that. Hopefully they'll keep that Irish idiot Tommy Smyth well away from the whole affair.

The last world cup was Dave Obrien.

He was obviously told he was commentating on soccer 30 mins before he had to be on the plane to Germany.......

"And that's a kick in from the end line towards the offensive sector......"

I don't care who is on the mike as long as it isn't Peter Drury or John Moston on commentary or David Pleat as co-commentator. All 100% annoying, patronizing gits.

I actually don't mind it if it is some 'clueless Yank' doing it. I quite like that. 'That defensive play gained some yards there', 'I think the goal was deemed illegal for offsideS', going crazy cos a team has just taken the ball over the half-way line etc etc.

I enjoy it - it's way better than hearing someone like Motson or Drury co** su** someone like Rooney or Gerrald for 90 minutes.
