Who's not watching the world soccer series cup?

Worse than the football is the post match expert opinion/dissection and posmortem, which to appreciate fully you'd need a double lobotomy.

Here in Holland they have an hour and a half of pre-match ‘expert analysis’ and predictions, then during half time the ‘expert analysts’ rattle on while the whole country goes for a whizz, then about two and a half hours of post match ‘expert analysis’ including ex-footballists, ex-footballist managers, the Minister of Sports and Health and so on, a comedian, a speed skater and whoever else they can find to sit down and talk tulipe all evening.

And also, the "expert" commentary during the match from Whiney Lawrenson and the god-awful Guy Mowbray.

Mowbray ..........as the ball is speeding towards the goal-line............."and the ball is going to go behind!" No tulip Sherlock!
I expect my commentators, particularly on the BEEB, to be informative, erudite, and relatively impartial. If I wanted a hysterical numbskull to state the bleeding obvious I could just have gone down the fooking pub!!
Motty must be wondering just how standards have been allowed to slide so far. There HAS to be someone more clued-up than him.
Amateurish, hysterical, and largely irrelevant. Could be a Plan B for sasguru.

"He's got a big nose!"

That's normal Dutch TV though isn't it?

I have the advantage of watching on German telly. I can understand the basics but the "quatsch" goes over my head.
