Why does Chiles feel the need to a "2 good/2 bad " style gag every game. This is live World Cup football Adrian, not MOTD2 hidden away on BBC2 on a Sunday night.

... perhaps he's just not very entertaining ... yes, that'll be it.

I actually thought he suited the MOTD2 format quite well, he's not quite mastered the difference from that and presenting live match coverage though.

Whenever I see Adrian Chiles, I get more convinced he's the Thunderbirds puppet they forgot to invent.

I'm with you on that. MOTD2 was a light hearted look at the weekends football. He suited it fairly well, he's been a train crash on ITV so far though.

That was brilliant! Well done Tyldesley Seems he's so far up Villa's booty he gave him the hat trick before he had hit the penalty

Aye when he said he was 'preparing to score his hat-trick'.

Some of Spain's passing and movement has been typically excellent, but there just seems to be something missing from them for me, which I can't quite put my finger on (even if Torres had taken his chances and Villa had scored the penalty).
