had to laugh at lawro who was moaning about messi 'not running around'. i mean, has he ever watched messi play? he isn't a headless chicken who feels he needs to run around off the ball to make it look like he's doing something! he walks into space so that he can produce some magic. i do think messi had a very good world cup but i do think there were a couple of others more deserving of winning the award.
On the subject of media coverage in this country (which we weren't!) isn't it just the dregs that our two big national broadcasters elect to use Lawrenson (bbc) and Townsend (the other side - shudder
) as co-commentators / summarisers. They're both insipid, one trick ponies, and yet radio coverage has far more informed pundits, such as Danny Mills or Pat Nevin. Pull yer frickin' socks up T.V. companies
