I was about to say, there have been plenty of male commentators and pundits who could have done with Graham Norton's Red Chair treatment over the years.

This is a role often fulfilled by Jermaine Jenas, Andy Townsend or Robbie Savage, co-commentary is generally dreadful.
I don't particularly like Tyldsley, but him and McCoist work well together. Its often quite positive and interesting. But on the whole yeah a lot of co-commentators are dull city, Hoddle is probably the worst IMHO.

I have to say, NBC's cohort for the Premier League games are usually pretty good together - Arlo White with Dixon and Le Saux. Dixon completely changes his approach when commentating for them, it's a bit like listening to an odd fan/player combo.

I’m not comparing her to others. Standing alone she is a dreadful co commentator.

I didn't want to speak ill of Hoddle but you are right. The list of good ones is essentially McCoist, Gary Neville and Carragher. Either it's surprisingly hard, a lot of people phone it in totally or the producers on the BBC/ITV have strange expectations.

The TV companies want a ‘name’, irrespective if they’re good enough or not. Chuck in the need to be ‘inclusive’ and the quality continues to drop.

Here in Spain they don't have pundits at all. The program starts 10 minutes before kick off with line ups and then anthems.
By the way, Spain outside bet to go out in group stage, they can't score.

Are they relying on Morata up front?

They have to show the anthem, so all the Spaniards can join in the singing of it.

When the passing game isn't working you need wingers to attack the defenders at pace and who will put crosses into the box....plan B😀

Should be some better stuff later, Spain and Sweden are playing.
I would like to retract this earlier comment.
