TIL from time to time Terry Butcher sounds like Motty.

Mark Geiger. The worst referee from a (retirement) league chock full of abysmal refs.

Keown isn't it??

I cannot believe that FIFA has Geiger reffing a WC game. By far the worst referee in football. He’s so bad he makes the other complete clown show refs in the retirement league look good.

I was about to say this. Hearing his name sparked a memory of him sending Giovinco off recently and there have been plenty of other controversial decisions in MLS. He loves his red card.

For counter balance, I think Geiger is the best ever American born referee. I leave it to everyone else to judge.

This bird’s voice is like nails down a fucking blackboard.

It's the BBC. She's there to tick a box.

Keown on the co coms again today. He’s so depressing. Is he ever happy?

Monotone Keown

I'm watching with 5Live commentary. I couldn't listen to BBC any longer...

I saw what you did there.

 

[Gassin's finest]

For goodness sake... He ought to be ashamed of himself.

Just need him to ref a Germany game and send off Muller!!

Um...of course.
100% intentional...

The North African sides have been by far the worst divers and whiners so far.

Their fans are just fucking crazy, I'm all for a bit of passion but they always look like they're attempting to overthrow a government.

Morocco are playing nice football. Portugal are overrated and the most luckiest team ever

I have no idea what's going on with the BBC commentary right now but Fox in America has to be worse. I'd gladly trade with you.

Not had a chance to actually watch the match. Surprised that Portugal are only a goal up, though.

I’m surprised Morocco aren’t level. Ronaldo’s going to have to carry this team kicking and screaming if they want anything from this tournament.

Last night my Mrs walked in during the Russia game, she had only seen a bit of the England Tunisia game so far and came out with a classic ....

"So all the teams in this World Cup are only allowed to wear red or white then"
