Guys lay off Lawro, i'll be reporting you to the mods for abusing a legend if this carries on.

Ugh... Lawrenson. A man able to suck the joy out of the most monumental football match.
I think he's slipped into parody a bit these days, but I kind of like that he's there on the Beeb, in an age where they push all their sporting events with such jingoistic fervour, and everything has to be the most brilliant, best ever thing since sliced bread. Nice to have a dose of misanthropy.

I hate him. Miserable Scouse git.

I'm over the moon that Lawrenson is sharing his expert knowledge on this match ... It means he's not around for the England game later.

It's an absolute crime that a team with this pool of talent, has to be shackled by a limited manager like Martinez.

I don't mind him at all.
I'm very disappointed as they normally save the 'big guns' for the England matches.
Someone at the BBC will be reading a strongly worded email very soon.

So far I haven't seen anything to suggest England won't win this group.
