Watching the BBC coverage last night hosted by Gary Lineker. The guest pundits were Alan Hansen, Harry Redknapp and Alan Shearer. They were all giving their advice on the formation and who should start for England. Harry made a pitch for Lennon to start as would be expected. Hansen disagreed claiming that Lennon was very poor against Algeria and looked 'out of his depth'. I was expecting a bit of a rebuttal from Harry, but there wasn't one. You don't usually see many disagreements on Match of the Day, but I was fully expecting to see something. Alas, no. Harry backed down and they started talking about something else. It's not like Harry Redknapp to back down from anything.
Good coverage over here. I feel bad for you guys having to deal with the CBC. As irritating as the BBC's policies can be, they do football well.
