With the Brazil FIFA World Cup 2014 fast approaching here’s the radio and TV schedule for all of the games so that you can get yourself set not to miss a second of the action. With the BBC and ITV splitting the coverage rights, you’ll have to give each set of pundits and commentators a shot being your chosen voice of the World Cup for the final game, which will be aired on both channels, as well as on BBC 5 Live.
On BBC1, the coverage will be headed up by Gary Lineker, along with Rio Ferdinand, France World Cup winner Thierry Henry, and former Dutch midfielder and current AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf. The one man managerial legend that is Tony Pulis and former USA international Brad Friedel will be joining the Radio 5 Live pundit team and Celtic manager and former Northern Ireland midfielder Neil Lennon will have a combined role across TV and radio. They join the existing BBC roster across TV and radio of Alan Hansen, Alan Shearer, Chris Waddle, Martin Keown, Kevin Kilbane, Mark Lawrenson, Danny Mills, Danny Murphy, Phil Neville, Robbie Savage, Pat Nevin, Jason Roberts and John Hartson.
Over on ITV, Adrian Chiles will be in charge of the TV presenter team, backed up by pundits Roy Keane and Lee Dixon as well as Gus Poyet, Gordon Strachan, Ian Wright, Patrick Vieira, Fabio Cannavaro, Glenn Hoddle, Martin O’Neill and Andros Townsend, whose bid to play at the tournament was sadly ended through injury. Commentator duties will be split between Clive Tyldesley, Sam Matterface, Andy Townsend and Clarke Carlisle.
