It’s Euro Cup 2012, and soccer fans have come out the woodwork to wear their team’s colors, down a few pints, cheer, jest, and rage when their team drops.
Or when Craig Burley gets to commentate a game.

Craig Burley? Why are ITV trying to ruin the Euros for me?!

Aww when you think you've got rid of Craig Burley until next season…

Craig Burley is a wanker.

A former midfielder for Chelsea, Burley has been getting into the TV pundit work as of late, and has worked with ESPN, BBC Radio 5 Live, and others. Today, he was given the privilege to help cover the Spain-Italy match. What he sees as an honor, others see as practically unwatchable.

Craig Burley commentating on this game is bad enough, but telling Spain/Italy players 'what they should've done' is pure comedy! #Euro2012

Whenever I hear "and on commentary, Craig Burley and Jon Champion" a little part of my soul leaves me </3

what's worse than Craig Burley commentating on the game you're watching? Mark Bright commentating. #arsehole

Craig Burley is to punditry what Harold Shipman was to medicine.

TV’s around the World are now displaying this soccer match in silence.
