The graphic....'First goal in this football game' lol

"First goal in this football game"

take everything

Wow.
No real analysis.

Is the Apres Match commentary meant to be funny?

Its not even as interesting as normal commentary, and thats saying something.

Part of it is that but the gaping openness about them isn't explained by that. Very poor teams keep it tight against very good teams all the time.

I think Scolari completely overrates his attacking players and plays so open that way.

And there are no midfielders at all.

Terrible team, badly positioned and with no idea what to do with the ball.

As much as I love to make jokes about Luiz, he is one of very few who make an effort. This will cost them more goals as a centre is the last player you want to make this kind of efforts.

Corholio

Lorenzo!

Haha

Sssh.. you can't say that about this "comedy" around here.

Very poor though allowing a 2 minute comedy skit pass as proper coverage for a full match.

Lorenzo haha

major bill

Brian Kerr's commentary is much more entertaining than the apres match analysis

Daemos

Still a better defender than David Luiz

Billy86

Anyone else get the feeling the Apres Match lads read boards? :pac:

rolliepoley

Dose anybody have any insight into why PSG paid all that money on a waste of space, i mean what was their reason?

_Kaiser_

Trap impressions and all.. seriously, this nonsense is just cringeworthy!

Corholio

That Lorenzo thing is one of my highlights of the whole cup.

Basically because they have loads of it.

See also: Schevchenko and Chelsea.

Brilliant stuff. Anyone not finding this funny needs to check their pulse.

David Luiz and/or Chelsea have scandalous information on the PSG money man. It;s the only reason I can think of.

Ozil having his usual lacklustre game.

brilliant from Apres, brilliant the keeper pointing to Lorenzo hahaha

I generally like all sorts of comedy - from stand-up to spoofs to those really "just dumb" comedy films, but this just is not funny.. and certainly not for 2 hours!

Because they can.

Luiz is a decent player, he just found himself in wrong place at wrong time.

Didn't he score a beautiful goal not so long ago?

He's not as much of a waste of space as Lorenzo! At least Luiz gets the odd goal

I dunno. He's made some good runs into the end zone.

Back to Gordon Ramsay for me. If your going to do on the fly comedy, you need to be funny. Being funny with rehearsed stuff isnt easy, on the fly is very difficult. Commentating on a soccer game and making it funny is very very hard. Its no surprise they can't do it. So why are they on the TV?

It's not for two hours though. Over the course of the two hours, the Apres Match lads are probably on for about 20-25 minutes.

Nolars

Why don't people that want real analysis on a nothing game switch the channel.

Seven Brazilian players in the penalty box for the second goal...and no-one less than 15m away from Blind.

It's for less than 30 mins and it's top class stuff.

It is funny and it's not for 2 hours, just the analysis.

People take things far too seriously.

Al_Coholic

Apres Match presenting this game is far better than that awful shyt that was on last night 'Callans kicks' or fecking mario rosenstock and they get 30 minute episodes

_Kaiser_

I guess I just don't see the "humour" in the same not-particularly-funny-to-begin-with sketch being repeated over and over.

Each to their own though!

No, I am not. I watch the game.

Who was the top player for the Brazil team in this game then, let's leave Oscar out of this.
