Euro 2016: Rio Ferdinand & Thierry Henry to join BBC coverage

 

 

Former England captain Rio Ferdinand and French World Cup winner Thierry Henry are among the TV pundits for the BBC's coverage of Euro 2016.

 

They will join BBC regulars Gary Lineker, Gabby Logan and Alan Shearer for 26 live matches.

 

Gianluca Vialli, Jens Lehmann, Robbie Savage and Neil Lennon are among the other former internationals who will appear on TV and Radio 5 live.

 

The BBC Sport website will have live text, video, and in-game highlights.

 

This will allow readers to watch the goals from BBC games as they happen on desktop, tablet and mobile.

 

Former England midfielder Frank Lampard and ex-Germany striker Jurgen Klinsmann will also make multi-platform contributions across the four-week tournament, which starts on 10 June and is being hosted by France.

I'm not going to let dodgy punditry ruin this one for me. I think it'll be a belter of a tournament, looking forward to it.

 

I think France have a great chance if Leicester City don't beat them to it. Home advantage for a solid side with quality throughout.

[M_B]

Sadly, I think these guys will be there too

 

[Lee909]

Wouldn't shock me in the slightest if you are right

Copa America next month too. Firmino and Neymar left out. 

[Hades]

Woy and Neville managed England shorter than a Conte led Italy? Nice.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Copa America next month too. Firmino and Neymar left out. 

 

I was reading a little about that. Apparently Brazil will favour the olympics over the Copa America so could well see Firmino in that squad.

Surprisingly large odds for Belgium.

 

Poland will be getting a fiver of my money at 50/1 that I most likely won't get back. Still very wide odds for a solid side with Lewandowski.

 

Remember the great Milan Baros coup by Reds in 2004? I had cash on him at 50/1 to be top scorer, others even got him at 66/1. Good times.

[A Red]

I couldnt give a shiny fuck about England so will be following Northern Ireland and at 250-1 I reckon thats where my 5p will be going

yip and the republic

[Jairzinho]

Copa America next month too. Firmino and Neymar left out. 

 

Big blow for the fourth best team in South America, that.

[Trumo]

Yep, Brazil are prioritising the Olympics as the Olympic gold is the one international title Brazil have never won.

Especially if refs help them out ala the Croatia game. 

[Lee909]

Great

That will make Firmino late for the season. Olympics dont finish till end of August he wont be playing till mid September. Absolute bullshit that this is allowed

i certainly do. great score.

 

nearly had England to win tournament/Shearer to be top scorer in '96 - 99/1. just a Gazza toe end from the final at least.

[Grinch]

Shame theyve ruined the group stages by adding 8 extra shite countries.

 

Knock out stages, ill look forward too.

 

Havent looked much at bets yet but will do a few long odd top goalscorers and Belgium to win.

[magicrat]

Sadly, I think these guys will be there too

 

 

I thought it was the new BBC punditry team for a moment. 

A massive upgrade on Lineker, Shearer et al

[njackets]

The gob smacking thing is the Owl is STILL managing to somehow pull the wool over the England crowds eyes and managing them for another Tournament.

To be fair they were decent in qualifying

[ZonkoVille77]

It's going to be fuckin shite

[gingerhulk]

The FA have meant to have put up the squad for the Euros.

 

This has now been deleted from the FA website, but it had Wilshere and Shaw in it and Danny Rose was on the stand by list. 

[Russ Atmosphere]

The other nations are going to be cacking themselves at the prospect of facing Slim Shaw and Smoking Jack Wilshere with a few warm-up friendlies to show for their whole seasons.
