But I've not mentioned the commentators or the co-commentators.
There is a reason for this.
They are almost all dreadfully bad.
Clive Tyldesley annoys and infuriates. Jim Beglin bores. Guy Mowbray seems awed by the job. Mark Lawrenson has become a parody without actually ever being that good in the first place.
I was almost pining for Archie McPherson.
I'd be tempted to award a knock-out victory to Radio Five Live. And their coverage was superior but the awful Alan Green casts a long shadow that the station struggles to escape.
Even then Five Live wins on points.
A massive fail for World Cup TV commentary.
