Danny Mills, Adrian Chiles, Ian Wright, Gary & Phil Neville, Peanut head & Canavaro, these should all be jailed.

Ha! We'll see. Though I'd rather be an optimistic Scot and suffer a brief pang of disappointment, than an England fan who has to watch his side fail fairly consistently at a tournament.
Actually, the 'brief pang of disappointment' at not qualifying for Euro 2008 is still there. Closest we've come for a while and we were undone by Pirlo and a shite performance in Georgia. Still I was at both our games against France and the memory of those wins (against the World Champions) will be sweet forever.

Adrian Chiles is a monumental bellend. Did you notice what looked like a bullet hole in the ITV studio window? Failed assassination attempt perhaps?

I find the cultural aspect facinating.
When David Beckham got sent off he was public enemy No. 1 back in England. Yet Uruguay seem to be standing behinmd their man?
I think this is one of the problems we have in the UK. We are looking at this through our own cultural feelings, yet in Uruguay it appears to be far more acceptable as part of the game.

The ITV commentary box was pelted with stones during an anti World Cup protest at the start of the tournament....though I'd like to think they were targeting Andy Townsend.

Hadn't realised that. Their studio is a bit lower than the Beeb's then? Both spots seem to be in similar locations over-looking the beach.
If you thought the Suarez bite was disturbing, try reading this quote from Ronaldo
World Cup winner and former Brazil striker Ronaldo: "Football must set an example and show examples of good players. People who are out of line must be punished.
"If my little children bite me, they are sent to the dark room with the big bad wolf. This is football's equivalent."
Someone call Social Services.

They must be fairly close to each other, but the Beebs one seems a bit nearer the beach.

They both might just be projections. TV studios are like that. Is it an established fact that both sets of presenters are actually in Brazil?

Judging by how sunburned Greenteeth Lennon is looking, I'd say they're out there.

I have no idea why BBC and ITV send the pundits over to host countries rather than a studio somewhere in the UK. Other than it's a jolly for them all. It's not as if they are providing any additional cultural, social, political or sporting insight from staying in a hotel in Rio and sitting in a studio.

I think they are out there as Lineker and the normal MOTD pundits were moaning about being put in a seedy hotel whilst the guest pundits were staying at the best hotels in town.
ps - here's a classic quote from a Mirror article on Suarez landing back in Uruguay
The footballer and his family were taken to his nearby home where mum Sandra currently lives in a transit van.
