The switch from Channel 5 for the final, where they have real Football experts to ITV, where they have the daughter of the ex Wales manager didn't help. It's also strange that the American commentators feel the need to explain the rules at almost every down. I don't think I'd watch it if I didn't understand it. You don't get Motty at the Cup Final saying "And that's the goal, if they get the ball in there they might just win" - actually, I'm not sure I'd put it past him. But he wouldn't say it to explain anything, just to fill the time with tenuous links more inane and increasingly surreal banter. You know the kind of thing - "And Spurs of course, their ground built on the site of a slaughter house, which is what Sunderland can expect if they don't contain the front two."
Curiously dull
