It a cult on here with Lord Romford turning into Dreyfus from pink Panther with this obsession about Clive T on ITV.
I feel like Casanova at an orgy and can't say I'm always listening to every word. I have had practice at not listening after 30 years of marriage 🗣️
Would call it racist but would end up shutting the thread down.
Surely as the commentator, there at the game, you should be able to distinguish two very different looking goalkeepers?
With the keepers being fixed at one end of the ground the scope for seeing their names and numbers is greatly reduced compared to most outfield players, so I wouldn't hang out to dry a commentator for not knowing every player in every squad by sight at a distance of 50 yards plus.
Not great for the production team as a whole. Cant see how that could remotely be considered racist though.
Care to enlighten us?
I won't go into the specifics of the 'cross-race effect' but the basics is if Courtois comes off for Mignolet, commentators spot it within 30 seconds.
I'm not calling the commentator himself racist. Just an unfortunate error that would have been avoided if there were more knowledge about football from other continents. It is the world cup after all.0 -

The commentator doesn't know the 2 goal keepers as he does Premier League players.
Nothing to do with racism as you yourself said he would have recognised the Belgian players.1 -
Gribbo said:Would love to know how that could be construed as racist.
And the comparison with Pickford and Pope, both household names in the UK and instantly recognisable, to the two Moroccan shoppers.
Watching Ebbsfleet vrs Fleetwood and the commentators corrected himself a couple of times, getting mixed up with players. Could've been black players or could've been white players, it's not in my lexicon to notice things like that tbh0 -

Apparently the first keeper had the better voice and the keeper who started the game had the better hands. We should do the same as Nick Pope was a Choir boy in Soham and Pickford has a shite voice.
You do realize there are 812 players at this WC and this commentator does one live match a day plus one recorded match a day.

Commentator on the England game got Kane mixed up with Mount at one point. The racist prick.3

At Chelsea you could argue he was the 3rd best in the world at the time. Unbelievable player.0 -

SELR_addicks said:I'm fine with it just being unprofessional as well.
As long as you admit that if Pope replaced Pickford in goal, they'd be able to tell within 30 seconds.7 -

killerandflash said:Eden Hazard's decline since leaving Chelsea is baffling
Although he's not old (32 in January) he's got a lot of miles on the clock, having started at the age of 16 and now made 618 appearances for club and country. And probably been kicked in every one of them. The likes of Messi and Ronaldo are freaks in that respect and their desire to carry on relentlessly but he might just have lost a bit of that. Who could forget that season, after all, at Chelsea, when he downed tools under Mourinho when he wasn't happy?0 -
Belgium have been crap this tournament, another version of England from Euro 2016.
Martinez has been even more loyal to his team, than Southgate has, when you consider the season Trossard is having yet cant get ahead of a Batshuayi who was absolute shite in England0 -

This World Cup feels very open so far.0

A tournament too far for the aging Belgians?0

No 2 in the World, you're having a laugh!1

Very clever set piece tactics from the Moroccans. Wide free kicks taken directly at the keeper and get a run across the front of him to put him off.
It’s worked for them twice, if only the first one hadn’t been marginally offside.0 -

At Last, Chuk Aneke Lukaka comes on as he can only do a cameo.1

Whats the best case scenario from the Croatia vs Canada game at present?
Either team win and we have three sides on all 3-pts.
Croatia then play Belgium in the last game | Canada finish against Morocco.0
