BBC v ITV

lundi 16 juin 2014

What are our early thoughts?



I find ITV's decision to have Fabio Cannavaro astonishing. Admittedly he's getting better, but I just think his English is poor and laborious - listening to him a few beers down the road is choresome. He also has no link to the game in this country (does that matter :confused:). They seem to have upped their game with the commentary however. The presentation and graphics are fussy as always.



The BBC panel seems to be a constant rota of faces. None of them really appeal. I'm going to say it - the best BBC pundit is Steve Claridge - he should be there, but isn't famous enough. And Lawrenson's puerile brand of sarcasm/ cyancism is realy starting to grate. Actually, it started to grate 5 years ago. But they do have JP, their saving grace, and the interface is clear and concise.



On balance I'd go with the Beeb, but it's closer than previous tournaments where ITV has been eons behind. I think this is because BBC has gone backwards however, rather than ITV improving. :(
