There should be a rule that the Argentinians don't get anything. End of!
BTW- Dowie is a decent co-commentator. A crap manager maybe, but he doesn't annoy like some!
Really? He’s so limited. How many times did he repeat the phrase ‘gilt-edged chance’ (despite there being 2 at the most) during that game? He also said ‘drop deep’ every 5 minutes and at the end wouldn’t stop going on about how the Serbian attacker had been grabbed. (“Look, he’s grabbed him. You can see he’s grabbed him. Then he grabs him. But he did grab him.”) It was like listening to someone who had never commentated before but had read a short book of football commentary cliches.
Dreadful pundit. He also clapped after Aluko gave her opinion before the game which seemed a bit patronising. She'd clearly done some research into the teams, whereas he'd just turned up.

Didn't grate on me like a few do. Lawro goes on and on and on and on and..........
Barry Davies and Lawro and half the country will be looking for a bridge to jump off!

The female pundits are amongst the best, probably because they feel the need to do some actual research (you know, like journalists do) rather than turn up and spout whatever comes into their heads.
Neville is grating with me at the moment. For a co commentator he talks too much. Bit captain obvious. And his breathy exasperated tone is most times at odds with the action we are seeing.
Germany are struggling to control the pace of the game. When Mexico win the ball, they move it quickly across the halfway line and are attacking exposed defenders. Germany look vulnerable for once.
