I spotted Beckie first and had already posted her photo earlier on this thread. But she is a smart cookie, and her opinions on the match reviews makes a lot of sense.
I don't think she is that good looking, but to each their own.

I just wish she would stop her incessant yapping .

danmand are you still crabby over Denmark going out?

Has The Great Zlatanissimo been replaced by Le Grand Olivier?

I don't get it?

Harry Maguire is a better defender than Matthijs de Ligt yet the Dutchman gets none of the scorn. I'll admit I've hardly watched United while watching too many of de Ligt's screw ups with Juve. The situation hasn't improved at Bayern either. Giorgit Chiellini speaks almost fluent English, there is a problem if you can't learn from him.

Guess you do not like the tone of her voice. Like Insiduous stated, that Kayleigh McEnany is the yapping alternative. Otherwise, there is always a change the channel button or mute. 😉
But her "yapping" does make sense as she pragmatically analyses the game or players themselves. She once upon a time used to be a very watchable scorer of some intriguing goals.

Maybe I am too critical or too grumpy, but I find the Canadian and US commentators below par.
One of them, Caldwell, can barely speak English.

The Bundesliga games shown on my cable have commentators, who are much better.

Caldwell speaks with a very thick Scottish accent. It takes some getting used to it. But I agree that his assessment is total BS. One player he seems to have constantly slammed is Declan Rice, while speaking highly of Maguire. Rice has been astonishing in the manner in which he cuts out most opposition counterattacks and protects the centre backs. Maguire on the other hand has made some ridiculous blunders and he is lucky that England have not paid the price for it. No doubt that he does have that aerial threat in the box from corners and set pieces. But you would expect that from the big tall Defenders. I have also watched some of the games from the BBC Channel, and agree with their commentators assessment and analysis.

Holy Ivana Knoll, a former Miss Croatia. According to a Qatari official, grinning Qatari fans disapproved of her attire and were taking photos to report her to government officials :ROFLMAO: Unofficial title: Sexiest fan in Qatar

I think Sportsnet One ( ch 48 on Cogeco) is the one that Broadcast some Bundesliga games. The commentary is superb.

I love a woman in checkers...lets hope she's not arrested.

Steve Caldwell doesn't always get it right, I just love hearing his Scottish brogue. Remember what Mike Myers said, "if it's not Scottish, its crrraaap". This is Ms Beckie's first broadcasting foray, she was hyper at the start of the tournament. She's much more relaxed and smooth now, she's part of the crew. I tend to be disappointed if she's not on air. As for Surly Dane, if he rested his head on Ms Knoll's soft pillows, it would improve his mood.

Some of Janine's goals for ManCity.

England’s 2 man midfield getting overrun by the energy and running of the US midfield helped Southgate find his best 11. Even when he subbed on Henderson in the second half against US, they stopped dominating so much and it became more of an even slugfest in midfield. Foden has been productive so far with goals and assists in both matches, better than Mount and Grealish.

Hoping to see that Henderson and Bellingham link up next season at Liverpool, maybe even Rice as well…

I think I was wrong. Mbappe may be the best football player.
