However, it was far from being Mr Mayall's finest hour.

I seem to remember this from the last world cup, am I having deja vu, or is "lost" a bit of a stretch?

He's not commentating on the WC I believe. He parted ways with ESPN earlier last year.

Ok I saw him do a piece in Sao Paulo couple days back for Sky so I presumed he would be commentating for someone

One network is using John Helm I thought he'd been shelved long time back!!

The ITV stream is holding up well via my VPN back to London, though listening to Andy Townsend does irritate me. The ESPN coverage appears to be pretty decent as well - commentary is good (even with McManaman).

Bit annoyed that the ITV app doesn't do live streaming anymore...and we got rid of the loaded cable package a while ago so lost ESPN...almost tempted to get it again, but not quite.

Enjoying the game though...
