Notable lack of reds across both teams with Rio being the sole representative on the Beeb, while Saha and Whiteside fly the flag on ITV. A surprising lack of scousers as well compared to previous years, can only spot two at a glance, although I did like Hansen tbf and think he'll be missed.
ITV have tried to be a bit more inclusive and added a female footballer as a pundit - that always works well.Andy Townsend returns from commentary wilderness, but whatever happened to Adrian Chiles?
Overall, Beeb shade it for me.

A new low

Big norm

Dunne

No Clarke Carlisle.

ITV tried to get Giggs but he turned them down.

They got Eric for the marketing though.

Seriously though, Peter Crouch and Tony Pulis, what are they thinking?

Crouchy is the best footballer off the pitch outhere. Fact

I remember Vialli being a top, top pundit the last time he was on.

Should bring Gazza back as a pundit...

Lynam: "What are your thoughts on Senegal, Paul"
Gazza: "I've never heard of em"

London wins the Pundit Cup in a tense North London derby between Arsenal 7 and Spurs 7

Arsenal win on co commentator difference

ITV have got Eni Aluko, a wimmins player.

What?

BBC taking 80 staff just to cover Wales' games

Unfortunately, I have a medical condition which means that I explode if I'm exposed to more than 2 minutes of Glen Hoddle so I'll have to swerve itv's coverage.

Blast zone of 20 miles radius if I was ever to meet him in the flesh.
