World Cup SBS commentators

[Kaan]

I don't get why it has to be aussie commentators when Australia plays, just chuck on Martin Tyler or whatever like with the other games.

That'd be my pick, Robbie Savage would also be a good pick given how he called the Cahill goal.

Glad Aloisi is done with the analysis and radio spots I hear him on. Listening to him just highlights why he was a very ordinary coach.

Fernanda de Paula turning Craig Foster into a nervous schoolboy each night is the highlight of SBS's World Cup coverage.

I'd started paying attention to it, since reading this post.

Late to the party I know, but we can only hope that that was the last we'll hear of Basheer and Foster. 'Fozz' has been discussed to death but I absolutely detest Basheer. Just the droning on and on, the continual referral to every cross as a 'centre' and insistence on using the local nickname for the opponent (La Furia Roja today) to make him sound worldly. Just shut up and call them Spain FFS. I can still remember wanting to punch out the TV in 2010 during the match of 'Bafana Bafana' v 'El Tri' (South Africa v Mexico).

His 'highlight' so far this tournament for me (Thanks Ned) was at half time v Chile when he said 'Chile will go in disappointed, but not the Socceroos'. Chile led 2-1 David.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who was cringing when he was repeatedly saying this.

Fozzie maybe bad... but I cant stand Slater, what has ever done for the game in Australia.

Be a better co-commentator than Fozzie for starters (which isn't saying much mind ya)

And also a better player than Fozzie.... and won big leagues, that helped keep us relevant in a way

I'd take Slater ahead of Foster but they're both flogs.

I'd take Kalac or Bosnich well ahead of both of them, both great characters.

 

[Cruyff14]

I like Robbie Slater.

 

[peternorth]

so long as slater isnt talking about nsw or sydney he's good

Any you tube feeds of Cahill goal with other commentators?

 

[Wes Tiger]

Fernanda without make up is like an Italian Team without refs. Very, very poor and lacking severe imagination.


Sorry eyeties

I've been watching the telecast and Craig Foster has shown himself to be a complete flog IMHO. Claimed the penalty paid to Greece was justified when the video clearly showed it was not.

When I hear Craig, I forget I like this game.

 

[Cruyff14]

Last night, Fos mentioned morals, values & Barcelona in the same sentence.

Turn it up.

This would be my Aussie dreamteam of commentators (locals only so I excluded Martin Tyler even if he is the best)

Caller = Simon Hill
Broadcast analyst = Andy Harps
Boundary rider = Mel McLaughlin

Studio team - Kalac, Zelic and Bozza with Les Murray as host (playing the Richie Benaud role). And occasional appearances from Sam Pang to provide comic relief.

Fozz, Bash, Zdrillic etc can join Bruce, BT, Ray Hadley and Tubby Taylor is the rubbish bin of overexcited or extremely boring commentators

 

[Cruyff14]

Andy Harper is annoying too.

Needs more Adam Peacock.

I don't mind Zdrillic as an analyst. He's being wasted in the host role though.

Also gotta have Aytek in the studio I reckon, guy knows his stuff. Les Murray-Kalac-Zdrillic-Aytek would be ideal for me.

 

[Shoei]

I can't stand the accents of the panel.

Must be a Sydney thing. They all sound foreign to me.

ive said on this site before that i feel zelic accentuates his accent at times

Sorry eyeties

A lot of women don't look that flash in comparison when they take their makeup off, at least Fernanda still looks decent.

 

[Hu$tler]

Tyler sounded a bit tired tonight.

Get some rest my man before the final #legend

 

[imadodgyumpire]

You may be able to find many chicks that are naturally more glamorous than Fernanda. But she presents herself very well, and I think would appear just as bright irl.

Santo, Sam & Ed did a perfect impersonation of the panel in their latest podcast.
