IT has certainly been a great World Cup, as the TV pundits never cease to tell us.
But thank goodness for Robbie Savage and Chris Waddle, who are at least prepared to call a spade a spade and say when something is poor – rather than describe it as "distinctly average" as so many sports commentators, Ian Botham in particular, say when that is just what it is not!
Robbie Savage may have a soppy voice and a limited vocabulary but at least he is not afraid to be candid with his views.
