Hate the England games being on ITV, their commentary team are rubbish, so so negative.

ITV's coverage on a general level is poor. Lee Dixon, I think, is not capable of providing insightful information other than pointing out when he knows a full back is tired. Matterface is perhaps the worst commentator on TV and radio, who seems to write his script the day before the game gets started, and it still does not work.
Tyler, Drury, Darke, Tydesley, and Mowbray are far better.
ITV's presenters are poor (Pougs lol), and their pundits seem to be really hesitant to analyse England's performances and be critical on a constructive level. Wrighty is a wishy washy optimist regardless of England winning or losing; he's just too nice to actually do his job. ITV seem to have him around to be a cheerleader more than anything else.
Neville (similar to Rooney on BBC) tries to be critical on a constructive level, but isn't intelligent enough or smart enough to analyse the game and to express his opinion or thoughts on development of the game. Keane goes one extreme to the other and just comes out with comments to get a reaction and to goad people; he rarely has an opinion that would suggest he's had a great career as a footballer and has knowledge to pass on.
I think too many so called pundits are there because of their name and achievements as footballers and not the fact they can give good insight or analysis on a game of football.
