    Each to their own, regardless of her being fit... i think she is great on sky sports/ darts and has been fairly ok here too, most people have an agenda when it comes to female commentators. There are a few rubbish ones but Laura isn't one, nor is Alex Scott (Not because of the armband incident) 

    Where is your evidence for this?

    I can't stand Robyn Cowen's commentary because her voice to me is the aural equivalent of scratching nails down a blackboard. Likewise never been a fan of Clive Tyldesley's sycophanticism or Sam Matterface's general ****ishness.

    Whereas Alex Scott is  decent pundit and Gaby Logan an excellent anchor.

    When people make comments about agendas it usually speaks of their own held prejudices... shouldn't be projected onto others because they don't immediately lap everyone up with certain identity traits. Fastback ticket to mediocrity rather than equality.

    Eh? Calm down, I think on the World Cup coverage she comes across as very wooden and it’s incredibly obvious when she’s reading from the teleprompter.

    I had a call schedule with a customer in Saudi for later today but had this message waiting for me when I got in this morning.

    "Lastday Saudi team win football match against Argentina,as royal decree made proud and gave holiday for all public & private sector.  Will continue tomorrow the same time as we discussed."

    and this picture

    I'd expect nothing less if we were to ever beat the Spanners.

    Laura Woods does the job fine, but no more. Better than someone like Scott Minto though?

    Japan will beat Costa Rica and that means if Germany fail to beat Spain they are out. 
    Germany v Spain should be a great watch.

    Laura Woods is single. I'm rooting for Jeff Stelling, he needs to make a move for her before retirement

    Costa Rica are really shit, but Spain look mustard. Spain and England are the best 2 teams so far, France a close third. We comfortably beat every other team on their showings so far

    Can’t believe how much Keylor Navas has declined.

    Commentary keeps cutting out for a brief time. Ive just emailed ITV to complain that it keeps coming back.

    Are they playing artificial crowd sounds at times? Second game I've watched where the crowd sounds have suddenly stopped except the odd whistle. Like a training match

    Spain beating Germany and Japan beating Costa Rica in the next round of Group E doesn't look impossible! The Germans would be out with one game still to play.

    Most people above are talking about how bad they are rather than how good Spain are. 

    Interesting isn’t it.

    Impossible? I’d say it’s a huge probability!
