Pundits/co Commentators?

Stupid commentator just claimed he’s got a 50/1 double on Japan and South Korea winning today and it’s still live, even though the Japan game was in extra time when he said it.
 
The standard of football punditry winds me up. Why do we even need a co-commentator at all? What value do they bring? There's no insight, more inanity.

If we have to have one then I want them to tell me why one team is winning the midfield battle, how the defence is set up or what tactical tweaks the manger has made to change the game. To educate me, in other words.

In virtually any other sport, the pundits are knowledgeable and articulate. In football, they're gener banal and just blather on about anything that comes into their heads.

That's why Gary Neville was a breath of fresh air initially, as he provided insight that you didn't see for yourself. But since he turned into Bury's answer to Tony Benn, he's not been worth listening to.

It's because they want to be seen as being more important and knowledgeable rather adding something to the game itself , whereas they just spoil it.

I don't need any of them for their incite with the exception of Souness who I think does add something of interest to the watching experience.
