CBC uses ITV I believe. You can watch BBC from their website if you have the ability to make your IP from the UK.

Entertaining half. Argentina's counter attack is terrifying. Germany needs to keep pushing, Argentina cannot defend the crosses into the box. Klose is open, just need some better deliveries. Schweinsteiger has been a rock. In the midfield.

It's not. It's the FIFA world feed.

I'm fairly certain he was talking about the rebound after the header.

He wasn't as first he said "it wouldnt have counted"

Then he corrected himself.

No, it's not ITV as we know it.

We have a guy called Clive Tyldesley as the main commentator on ITV, plus Andy Townsend (ex Republic of Ireland, Chelsea) as the "colour" analyst.

Girly thought it was ITV earlier in the tournament.

I think it's just an independent global channel. Maybe they call it ITV, but it's not the same as here.

In most cases, BBC > ITV quite severely.

the confusion is perhaps because both Helm and Drury used to be ITV but they're actually FIFA staff for these games.

additionally, I don't really like this Lloyd Barker at all. I really know nothing about soccer and even then he's adding nothing to the broadcast for me. That's how weak his tidbits have been.

Regardless, the commentators in the International feed are always a highlight for me.

He's clueless and terrible, no analysis, just regurgitation of what everyone can see, dressed up with some semi-important soccer terns. Craig Forrest is far more an interesting and knowledgeable analyst as far as former players go. Much more accomplished as well.

Yeah, Forrest is sort of in the middle for me. John Herdman is awesome, breaking down tactical decisions, which for someone like me, teaches a lot.

That's why he is the coach for the Canadian women's team

Absolutely, for the neutral viewer, it's a nice change to have opinionated and not sugar coating thing while calling a wonderful game without getting in the way or over commentating or pandering to the lcd. They're all good, Helm and Dave Woods are the most enjoyable for having an extra tingle of bitterness if the game stinks.
