3rd goal goes in..."bring on the french"....just love it when they shoot themselves in the foot...add shearer and ferdinand to that posse.

I don't get ITVs commentary choice.

Champion and McCoist are brilliant together and Seb Huthcison and Andros Townsend had a really easy chemistry last night (and it was great to hear a current players view as well). Yet their number 1 duo is the insufferable Matterface and Dixon.

Moribund, monotone and completely lacking any insight beyond tired cliches.

[MWHIBBIES]

Pretty reasonable. Both them and the French have strolled through so far. Should be a good game. England have a chance.

Agree with Champion and McCoist but they are always going to stick with Dixon etc as they are English

Think I hate them for different reasons than you - Matterface's attempts to be wacky and fit in nonsense scene-setting anecdotes are insufferable. Dixon used to come across quite well in his MOTD2 days, but he's got a really off-putting smug air about him now.

Jenas and Keown can get stuffed as well mind you, so I'm fairly open to accusations of anti-English bias.

Jermaine Jenas is even worse. He’s making me pine for greeting faced Lawro.

[Tyler Durden]

I would add Dion Dublin to the list. He has a habit of saying “as we call it in the game” after describing the most obvious well know cliches that every man and his dog would know.

“Done him with the eyes” being his latest example, as if he was letting us in on a massive secret

I agree 50/50 against France.

They’ll need to start better than they did tonight though.

France definite favourites but it should be a classic of a game.

England capable but I’d have France as favourites.

Mbappe will have the game done and dusted after 20 minutes if England start like they did tonight.

Senegal started well tonight and if they had Mbappe and Giroud up front they would have gone ahead.

There's not a bookie in Britain who will lay this this as 50/50, not one.

he actually went even earlier than that at 2-0 54mins 'is it too early to talk about the french'

Bet the voted for Brexit 😁

[Bostonhibby]

There's an awful lot of Lee Dixon's about down here, feels like they've been wanting to play France all along and it's just a formality, it's coming home etc......

Bookies don't think so, you can get 21-10 England 11-8 France

[Gloucester Hibs]

Dixon seems to have channeled his inner Mark Lawrenson lately, and that’s not a good thing.

[Shrekko]

It's absolutely nuts that folk continue to get upset about English commentators being optimistic about their own team in a World Cup.

Whether we like it or not they have a good team and are excited... it's the World Cup after all. Have they really to say nothing because they might offend people from the other home nations? It's hardly fair to expect that.

There is an argument we should have our own commentators but really who cares? There will be this type of "bring it on" stuff from all the competing countries.

For those of us who don't want them to win it, it just make's it funnier when they don't. Unfortunately, they are good enough to win this one though.

Yip.
No issue with any excitement from any commentators.
It's what football is all about.

[norhfc]

I dont mind the English commentators getting over excited, its all part of the game. What I do mind is the first 8 minutes of the BBC breakfast news at 6 am this morning dedicated to the fantastic victory last night.

[worcesterhibby]

Of all the names mentioned above, the only one that gets on my nerves is Dion Dublin, nice guy I'm sure, but terrible pundit. I wish we had more ex-pros talking up ther Scottish game. Dixon called it right at 2-0, they cruised through.

England at better than 2/1 is a cracking price. Might be tempted to have a bit of that.

Could you imagine we had our own WC coverage with Steven Thompson, Chris Iwelumo and Leanne Crichton out there in Qatar giving their words of wisdom? We should thank our lucky stars we have to listen to a bit of England bias.

That is actually a fair point.
Although it would be nice to have higher aspirations than the lot of them

This. I remember back to the World Cups that Scotland qualified for when I was growing up and Jock Brown, Archie McPherson and their co-commentators were exactly the same.

Harrison when he was commentating on the Wales USA was obscenely biased and talking all sorts of nonsense.

Gladly listen to them if it meant Scotland were in the last 8 of the World Cup!

Scottish football coverage from that lot are more likely to put ourselves down than any kind of positive coverage.
