With the Russia World Cup just under a month away, the various sports broadcasters have been unveiling their pundit teams for the summer showpiece.  ITV have managed to nab Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville as well as the likes of Martin O'Neill and Slaven Bilic. bbc world cup pundits

The BBC have also announced their roster of analysts for Russia in a frankly bizarre video in which BBC presenter Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer create a Whatsapp group containing all of the people that will be used in their coverage:

Here is the Beeb's full roster for June:

  • Frank Lampard
  • Rio Ferdinand
  • Alan Shearer
  • Pablo Zabaleta
  • Jurgen Klinsmann 
  • Didier Drogba
  • Mark Lawrenson 
  • Alex Scott
  • Danny Murphy 
  • Martin Keown
  • Phil Neville

Gabby Logan, Gary Lineker and Dan Walker will share presenting duties and commentating will be split between Kevin Kilbane, Guy Mowbray, Steve Wilson, Jonathan Pearce, Steve Bower, Simon Brotherton and Vicki Sparks, who becomes the first woman to commentate on a World Cup game for British television.

An eerily bald headed Didier Drogba.

Alan Shearer's menacing line reading of 'Didier'.

Jermaine Jenas' selfie game.

Pablo Zabaleta's needlessly 'cartoonified' cameo.

This image will haunt me all day.

And finally all the boys, in some sort of lonely hearts chat room. How dare they subject Zinedine Kilbane to such an ordeal.
