His accent alone is bad enough, and it's not helped by the fact that he has false teeth in the front, which, it sounds like, regularly slip out of place while he's babbling on.

Well done ITV, AGAIN - you're paying someone to talk to the nation, who is incapable of enunciation.

Personally thought he's been the only good thing about the ITV coverage so far!

Least he talks some sense...

Their experts in the studio, Davids, Keegan and Veira looked like they've been sedated!

Vieira is the most boring pundit I have ever come across. At least Adebayor provides entertainment by leaving his phone on when on air.

Yep, have to agree that I like him as a summariser personally.

I'm not really talking about the content - just that he's not the easiest person to understand. I agree, he does talk some sense.

He's not that hard to understand really? Adebayor, Viera and Desially (sp) are much harder!

Surely nobody is surprised that ITV's coverage is shite.

They have never been any good at sports coverage.

I'm not surprised just disappointed really. It's not as if the World Cup has just snuck up on them...

shit pundits - check
Nick BBC MOTD style but make it worse - check
Ad break at a crucial moment - check

Sounds like par-for-course ITV to me.

How on earth is it possible in all the football they show for the 2 minutes they fuck up and show adverts at the wrong time to coincide with goals.  What are the odds of that.
