They should add "when anyone mentions 1966" to that list. I love, and hate in equal measure, the ridiculous lengths people will go to in order to bring it up. E.g. "It rained precisely 2.228 mm today, the last time that happened...was 1966".
But yes, actually quite looking forward to seeing Henry as a pundit, always good value. I hope they have Seedorf on as well. I also hope Robbie Savage has been dropped for the World Cup. And all the other dross.

I was curious to see what Gavin Peacock was doing these days, so I looked him up on Google. Apparently he "abandoned his career in punditry to pursue a religious calling", and is now a pastor at a church in Calgary. That's great 
I wonder if his sermons are any better than his analysis of football...

Maybe Australia should bring on this Matt Smith chap at half-time.

I think we are blessed here. Not so much for our own games because we have Craig "Ian Healy" Foster, but in general SBS (the ESL broadcaster here, which has been known since it's inception as Soccer, Bloody Soccer) covers sporting events better than just about any network anywhere.
They cover all the games, devote analysis to all of them from former players, have daily round ups at a decent hour and the whole thing is led by Les Murray, a Hungarian refugee who immigrated here in the late 50s/ early 60s. He's a legend*. They don't do the bull**** the other networks do and record events then show them as though they're live. In other words they don't insult viewers' intelligence.
They won a Logie award for best coverage for a WC one year and he stood up, plainly pissed, and abused the other networks for being soulless and lacking passion for the sports they cover.
* he's also a legend because I literally ran ino him on the Central Coast as he walked out of an apartment building with a nubile blonde about 35 years younger than him on his arm. He'd obviously been firing up.

You know because the surname Chiles reads similar to Australia's opponent Chile... #cmonppl #postneedsalike
