    Apologies, didn't see this until now. It's German national team and Wolfsburg goalkeeper Almuth Schult, and she's been an absolutely brilliant pundit so far - funny, articulate, at ease, and offering pertinent analyses. She makes a great team with Stefan Kuntz and Kevin Prince-Boateng. On the downside we have Bastian Schweinsteiger in the stadium, and he just has no TV presence - not funny, not charismatic, and for someone who spent 15 years at the top of the game, seems to have no insights to offer about what's happening on the pitch either. Maybe he'll grow into it, but right now he's just awkward and dull. Which is a shame, as he's a very likeable bloke.

      Really enjoyed Gwennan Harries co-commentary on S4C on Saturday - felt quite sorry for English language viewers having to put up with Robbie Savage.

          Various rankings that might be of interest:

          Rae or Champion being top and Cangialosi bottom seems correct. Alejandro Moreno isn't bad but has drawn the short straw of main commentator. Rae and Robson would probably be the best duo.

            Someone really needs to tell Micah Richards to stop laughing so much, or at least to tone it down a bit.

            It's Brian Blessed hearing the funniest joke in the world every two minutes.

              Richards also shows no insight when I see him on US TV doing Champions League, just banter and playing the court jester, which is a shame if he's really a thoughtful individual who knows his stuff.

                Lisa Fallon has been a real breath of fresh air in RTE's coverage in terms of insight and player knowledge.
