Have women commentators taken over the World Cup (n/t) on 14:11 - Nov 26 with 3256 views | Nthsuffolkblue | I have yet to see a studio with as many female pundits in it as male ones. All of the commentary I have heard has had at least one male commentator too. The only disappointing thing is that the quality has remained poor regardless. If they kept the best male ones and added the best female ones, it would be better. Instead, you get the same mix of quality. |  |

Fox over here have a female commentator for this Poland game and have three female pundits in the studio alongside one male. So long as they’re not Andy Townsend, it’s all good |  |

Women's football is a much bigger sport than men's over there isn't it so that makes sense really. |  |

I only recall seeing Alex Scott with male ones. Now there are no female pundits with one female presenter. Not paying a lot attention to it so may have missed it. Was it 2 female pundits and 1 male? |  |

That was true a few years ago but not now. The men get really good attendances. |  |

Have women commentators taken over the World Cup (n/t) on 16:21 - Nov 26 with 2871 views | HighgateBlue | I don't think any commentators have ever taken over the world cup. But as a generality, I find the few female pundits and commentators that there are to be generally more erudite and intelligent than the majority of the men. They will at the very least create more competition and cause standards to go up across the board. |  | |  |

I can't stand Jonathan Pearce. He gabbles on like an old wind bag!!! I like Kelly Sommers, she is cute, she seems to be reporting on the England team mainly though. |  | |  |

There was an all-female panel for Poland v Saudi Arabia |  |

Ageism and sexism all in one post. Lucky neither of them are black. Oh yeah, I went there. |  |

Steady, you should also be referring to yesterday as ‘Friday of colour’ as well |  | |  |
Have women commentators taken over the World Cup (n/t) on 17:21 - Nov 26 with 2629 views | Ftnfwest | I think on reflection I’d rather just have an all female presentation now or allow LGBT as well and exclude any men. I tend to switch on at kick off anyway and don’t bother with the half time stuff. It would avoid all the debate and comparisons which can only be a good thing. Relegate all the men to talksport. |  | |  |

Are you suggesting we have football highlights presented by a 'mincer' who rates the colours of the kit aka Gok Wan or rates the players out of 10 for thighs and hairstyles and have a gay crush of the month alongside GOTM? Y'know, CH4 or CH5 may go for that if they get the TV rights. |  |
