Seems both channels are screening the final, but on which channel would you prefer to watch the World Cup final.

 

I prefer BBC1 without the ads, but I hate Alan Hansen gobbing on, that's the only drawback of watching the final on BBC1

BBC. The commentary team can sometimes be rubbish but there are no adverts compared to ITV which make sit better viewing.

ITV1 - I don't personally have a problem with ads. Half time "analysis" are usually c**p anyway and just telling us what we already know. Four of five mins on ITV1 is time enough for me.

 

Gabby Logan or Steve Rider - whichever presents the final on ITV1 - beats Gary Lineker imo. ITV's pundits I find more watchable as well, Alan Hansen is vile :puke2: and Ian Wright is almost as bad. Terry Venables, Ally McCoist and Stuart Pearce are better there.

 

The commentators for BBC's final will more than likely be Motty and Lawro :puke2: no thanks -_- I've had enough of them on Fifa 98-2002 and the hours I used to spend on it! :lol: Whoever ITV pick - someone out of Peter Drury, Jon Champion or Clive Tyldsley suits me more than Jon Motson.

 

The only ITV1 drawback for me is Sam Allardyce -_- he's just about bearable.

anyone is better than Motson he is terrible,the only comentator who manages to mention England every 5 minutes, 1966 and all that and Rooney, even when England are not playing. Is he the most biased comentator on the planet. :puke2:

BBCs coverage overall, is far, far better. Though Motson is a t***.

Or in the case of Costa Rics vs Ecuador yesterday don't even MENTION the match and just talk ENTIRELY about England! :puke2:

The BBC pundits are extremley bias towards England especially Ian Wright, but I like him because he is a typical English supporter just like the majority of people watching the coverage.

ITV, less biased, the intro isnt as c**p as the BBC one, that is really just sh*t. The itv graphics are better than the bbc's as well! Can someone change my vote from BBC to ITV i clicked the wrong one!!!

Watch the coverage on Beeb one, but listen to commentary on the radio.... :lol: :lol: Radio commentary beats the telly commentary hands down, always has done....

I agree the Radio Five Live's coverage is best of the lot.

 

However Alan Green, Terry Butcher & Graham Taylor's "Sven / Beckham bashing" is getting quite tiring to listen to!

Graham Taylor's got a bit of a nerve slagging off Sven, he was probably the most disastrous coach you guys had since Don Revie... :lol: :lol:

BBC by miles and miles. Yeah, I really want to hear the expert opinion of Robbie Earle and Andy Townsend of ITV don't I?

 

I did prefer Barry Davies to Motty though, he's missed this year.

BBC by a LONG way! No ads and pundits that know what they're talking about.

ITV, because the commentaters are c**p on BBC

Ian Wright is honest whihc is good, no ads, more funny with Lineker

Lineker is a boring t*** that shows no enthusiasm :angry:

BBC, as ITVs picture quality on Sky seems rubbish for the footy.

Knowing my luck Ill be watching at work anyway!

Lineker is a boring t*** that shows no enthusiasm :angry:

And Steve Rider DOES? :|

Eugh BBC One wil show the Brazil match tonight so those of us without BBC Three won't be able to watch the Croatia - Australia one :angry: which is far more meaningful. -_-
