Can RTE just work Des Curran into the ground for the World Cup?

He is by far and away the best commentator in the country. There is no one even close to him.

@IRISHGOONER94P @RTEsoccer It's like they don't want to be watching it. IT'S THE WORLD CUP! YOU ARE BEING PAID TO WATCH AND COMMENTATE ON THE WORLD CUP! These lads commentate like they'd rather be commentating on a Junior B game 😂

@NatPhillips766 @JackRoe77 @lockers81 @RTEsport "Now start talking about Metallica and Slane Castle"

@ParaicCollins As someone that commentates on LOITV, I'd like to think we have much higher standards than the absolute dross my ears have endured for the last 90 minutes 😂

(2) there is no actual analysis in the studio. Any time they try to display any tactical depth, it's surface-level analysis that anyone that watches football would know. There are pundits and commentators that have played at international level but they don't feel like experts.

[Conor Hogan @hoganball_]

@RTE coverage of the World Cup is genuinely embarrassing. Simply clueless analysis on comms and in studio which is why they have to keep changing the subject to the fans, celebrities, irrelevant analogies. Any discussion of the actual match is so vague, filled with clichés (1)

[Conor Hogan @hoganball_]

@Default69202648 Did they know they were commentating on a World Cup game? They spoke about Metallica, Shakira, Stephen Kenny, Cork vs Tipp, Kai Havertz, Ciara, Pep Guardiola. None of these things had anything to do with the game and that's just what they spoke about in the second half 😂

[Conor Hogan @hoganball_]

@NatPhillips766 @JackRoe77 @lockers81 @RTEsport That genuinely nearly sent me over the edge 😂 and why were they talking about the Cork Tipp match during the USA Australia game?

[Conor Hogan @hoganball_]

@VinnyMourinho @MikeCleary85 You've nailed it. Whenever I hear him and Whelan together, they remind me of two aul fellas down the pub that haven't got a clue and never actually played the game themselves - despite the fact Whelan literally played for Ireland and Liverpool 😂 Curran and Houghton much better

[Conor Hogan @hoganball_]

@MikeCleary85 He's so bad 😂 difference between him and Des Curran is night and day. I think the issue is that he commentates on everything, he's not a football specialist. But he's also just so dower, seems to whinge at everything and doesn't sound like he actually enjoys the game

[Conor Hogan @hoganball_]

Sorry, did Ronnie Whelan just say 'The Mets won the basketball'?

Firstly, the Knicks won the basketball. Secondly, the Mets are a baseball team

Everyone knows who Spain are missing, but they're too afraid to say it. And no, its not Lamine or Nico.

This Netherlands Japan match hasn't been the best game, but my God why are the RTÉ commentators always so miserable. A goal has been scored, act like it! It's like they don't even want to be watching the World Cup.

[Conor Hogan @hoganball_]

@RhodesKotaEra How do you not have Jevon on the wing? 😂 Penta in the 10 with Seth in the 8. Also need pacy wingbacks. Roman wasted at RB. Gotta have Talla Tonga in goal surely

[Conor Hogan @hoganball_]

I actually hate him so much man 😂 Sweden hatewatch is gonna be strong at this World Cup.

Graham Potter arriving to Sweden’s training session in a Cowboy hat 👏😅

@mfc_mrpage As a West Ham fan, I am 100% hate watching Graham Potter's Sweden
