Thumbs Up:

Francis Awaritefe
Why isn't he on more often? He actually knows what the hell he's talking about...its justly poor form to have him on the 4:30am games.
Tony Palumbo
Like a true Italian only can talk about Italy but he knows them inside-out.
Spider Kalac
Aside for his deplorable hair, he's quite an intelligent former Socceroo.
Mariana Rudan
Explanation not needed

Thumbs down:

Craig Foster
Needs to calm the f**k down
Craig Johnston
Horrible ponytail, and you just can't understand him
Kevin Muscat
How did he get that gig?
Ned Zelic




Thoughts?

Ned Zelic would only pass if he wore the spew jersey as he spoke.

Paul Okon hasn't been great as a special guest. Francis is great.

The two bald noobs are really crap as a team, basheer is just barely passable, but Muscat is just lamentable.

Unfortunatly only have had Martin Tyler for USA v England.

Yeah the 7-10 split of Muscatt and Basheer... Are just keen to rub it in that they are in the media tribune.... Best of the comp has been Santo Sam & Ed.....but being on SBS you would think they could get more tits on the show.

Never understood the Craig Foster hate.

He speaks very well and is very good at analyzing matches and tactics. How is being passionate a negative? I love Football so I enjoy hearing someone talking about it in a passionate and smart way. This stuff matters, it's not just shits and giggles.

Tony Palumbo is a a funny guy his coverage of Serie A back in the day used to crack me up, he was always so cynical about Italian football.

Zhrillic is good.

Awaritife is pretty bad, he's not insightful and forgets information a lot when he tries to reference it.

I'm enjoying Fozzie at the World Cup because it plays to his undying love of top class passing football. During the regular season he just ends up talking about Barcelona and Arsenal all the time. 9 months of that is just too much. I also like that he's laid into Verbeek hard. There's been heaps of Verbeek hate within the fan ranks but the Fox Sports crew has been soft on him for the last two years. Fozzie has waged a hate campaign against an Australian coach before (Ange) and knows how to do it right.

The search for a cach who's both decent AND actually interested in the role continues. At the moment we have the sh*t one who watches a-league. Before we had a couple of great coaches who didn't give a rat's arse.
