As long as the Beeb don't give a live game to that awful Vicki Sparks, we are all winning.
AgreeMatterface just shows no emotion when England score. Why ITV thought he was a good idea is beyond me. Why not pay some of the sky commentators to do the England matches
Maybe I'm alone here but I don't watch any pundits at all.
Put the game on just before it starts, do something else at half time and turn off afterwards!
I just hope the commentator and side kick(s) during the match are not too annoying. I hope they're a bit like a good referee so you just don't notice them.
BBC showing games in Ultra HD on iPlayer which is a bonus.
I have got to say that Sam Matterface is proving himself to be a very poor choice as lead commentator for ITV. I don't usually concern myself with commentators but he has mentally not made the step from radio as he doesn't know when to stop padding with "interesting information," to the point of time and time again dribbling on over the top of attacking action.
A controversial appointment replacing veteran Clive Tyldesley, he just is not in the same league for me. I hoped initially it was just a case of finding his feet but he has nor improved. He really isn't up to the job.

He doesn't have the sense to know when to shut up. Very much a bad version of a local radio commentator who has somehow been given a top top job.I have got to say that Sam Matterface is proving himself to be a very poor choice as lead commentator for ITV.

I don't rate him much as a pundit but I can't help laugh when he does. Very infectious.Micah Richards is the worst. Can only assume they've given him the role for his 'banter'.
Watching the MOTD Euros preview show last night, I found him difficult to listen to.
He makes Woodgate sound articulate

Enjoy his less serious stuff like his little road trip to Wembley this week for sky bet has been excellent with Roy Keane very funny. But I agree he was painfully bad last night, thought Ashley Williams was decent.
I don't mind Micah. He's a lot more likeable than a lot of the other pundits.
ITV definitely have the best pundits for the Euros.
ITV - upside better pundits, downside adverts and Matterface as commentator.
I think I'll watch the matches on BBC then flick over to ITV for the pre match/half time/post match analysis.
Ah. Don't they share some of the games in the later rounds?You will have to watch both if you want them all. They share the games out, they both don’t have every game
