Got sent this on this morning. I didn't watch either of the analysts, so not sure if either is exaggerated.
In the Irish Times today from the BBC and RTE panels at half time and full time! Brilliant......
Half-time. Fantasy World Cup Punditry, all of them in the one studio. Ready?
Hansen: “Once England got the goal the confidence levels surged, they were excellent.â€
Eamon Dunphy: “They just didn’t grow in confidence at all after the goal.â€
Lineker: “The goal really settled them, didn’t it? They pushed on from there.â€
Ronnie Whelan: “You’d think they’d have kicked on from when they scored, but they actually got worse.â€
Roy: “England’s crossing has been absolutely outstanding.â€
Giles: “Some of the crossing was just awful.â€
Shearer: “Rooney looks more confident, he’s getting around the pitch a lot better.â€
Dunphy: “It’s shocking to see Rooney so subdued, he’s been reduced to a shivering wreck.â€
Shearer: “They look much more comfortable on the ball, they’re passing it with a purpose, with pace, they’re closing down – a much better performance, it’s encouraging.â€
Giles: “They’re much better than they have been, but they couldn’t have been worse.â€
No arguments, then. Second half. England held on. Full-time. Ready?
Lee Dixon: “A great performance.â€
Dunphy: “Shocking . . . absolutely incredibly bad . . . pretty awful stuff.â€
Hansen: “The commitment was there, the spirit was there, the enterprise was there, the creativity was there, they passed it better – they could have scored five or six quite easily. Capello will obviously be delighted with the performance.â€
Giles: “If that’s the shackles off what’ll they be like when the shackles are back on?â€
’Arry Redknapp: “We played with pace, we got after them, we pressed them, there wasn’t a weakness in the team.â€
Dunphy: “They were astonishingly poor.â€
Lineker: “He looked more like the Rooney we know.â€
Ronnie: “Rooney is a major worry, his form, his body language, his demeanour, everything.â€
Dixon: “Gerrard was outstanding.â€
Dunphy: “I can’t believe how bad Gerrard was today.â€
’Arry: “Across midfield we were top drawer.â€
Giles: “Barry got worse as the game went on, Milner, Gerrard and Lampard the same.â€
’Arry: “Bring it on! Whoever we play we’ll be difficult to beat.â€
Ronnie: “If they don’t improve they’ll go straight out, it was a very, very inept performance.â€
The consensus ended, though, when Capello appeared on our screens for a chat with Gabby Logan.
The BBC was euphoric about Fabio’s euphoria, but Giles reckoned he was just spoofin’. “It wasn’t exactly the most probing interview,†said Darragh Moloney. “Well she eems a very attractive girl – maybe that’s why she’s doing the interview, she was doing a good bit of creeping there,†said Gilesie. Next time he meets his former Leeds team-mate Terry Yorath – that’d be Gabby’s Da – he should bring a gumshield.

RTE's coverage of the World Cup has been excellent. Didi Hamann is a very good pundit.
Dunphy was having a good oul laugh slagging off Landon and all Amercians last night...
RTE World Cup 2010 - USA vs Algeria post match - Landon Donovan and Bianca

I realise that being a bit of a wet blanket is not really my M.O. however several posters' recent trend of typing "This" underneath any post that they more or less agree with is a trifle annoying.

RE the pundits post.
I thought the Beeb did give ott credit t Rooney who has been terrible so far, I'm not sure its cos the 'pressure' on him, or an injury or he is saving himself for next season and ManU or something else but he has been terrible. His inability to trap a ball and pass it has been terrible, but the most frustrating thing has been his lack of desire to shut down, chase and kick chunks out of defenders I just can't understand it.
As for the other pundits 'astonishingly poor' and 'awful crossing' 'awful stuff'..talking crap really

Well, our chances are 100% better than yours, sunshine.
429 on a phone spells gay. Just thought I'd share that.

Congrats to England for beating a country with a grand total of 429 professional footballers and finishing second in the group to the USA.
The World Cup is yours.

*yawn*
I shouldn't have let you have both those spare tickets...
