I have emailed Nick Sloane, ITVs director of sports and he has comfirmed that the press release is out on Tuesday.
Also I asked "Are you showing any international friendlies on ITV4 prior to the tournament (non-england)".
The reply I recieved was "Peru, Honduras, Ecuador"
I saw Richard Keys say on twitter that Glenn Hoddle would be part of the BeIn Sport team (?) for the World Cup. I wonder how he'll combine that with ITV? Will he just be doing England games for ITV? I hope not!
Glenn's doing lots of other games for ITV. Most games will have two or three guests, and there are at least eight guests being rotated. As Bein's studio is right next door it won't be hard to work on both channels, even for matches in the same day.

So Hoddle, Dixon, Wright, Keane, Viera and Strachan will probably be six of those - still hoping for Martin O'Neill!
Expect mass confusion as Andros Townsend is confirmed as a pundit for ITV, presumably alongside Andy Townsend as a co-commentator. Ian Wright, Lee Dixon, Roy Keane, Gordon Strachan and Gus Poyet also confirmed as is Adrian Chilles, obviously. https://twitter.com/itvfootball
ITV's punditry line-up includes (may not be a complete list):
Fabio Cannavaro
Gus Poyet
Andros Townsend
Roy Keane
Patrick Vieira
Glenn Hoddle
Lee Dixon
Ian Wright
Gordon Strachan
Martin O'Neill

i like Poyet, with Townsend being a pundit, a player is not going to criticise another player, not going to happen
Well, it's certainly not the first time either the Beeb or ITV have used a current player in their line-ups, ITV had Gary Neville in 2002, who had missed out through injury, and Gareth Southgate in 2006, while the Beeb used Jamie Redknapp in 2002 when he was still just about an England player. Even Jamie Carragher had only recently retired from England duty in 2012 and he was a very good, impartial pundit (just ask Andriy Voronin).
No difference to when Sky get in injured players for Premier League matches.

...perhaps if you'd got his name right.

Will this be the first time their studios have more or less the same view?

No Leonardo boo
Henry needs to step up.
Can't imagine Ferdinand been very knowledge, he will make out hes "mates" with all the players, cringe.

Well I really like this idea
Refreshing and different - I like!
And, apologies if they have been posted already, details of the host broadcasting camera positions

Townsend is a current player, is he going to criticise anyone? I'll reserve judgement on him
Poyet & Dixon are fine
No word on co-comms yet
Fabio Cannavaro
Gus Poyet
Andros Townsend
Roy Keane
Patrick Vieira
Glenn Hoddle
Lee Dixon
Ian Wright
Gordon Strachan
Martin O'Neill

Press release has comms as Tyldesley, Mattersface with Andy Townsend and Clark Carlisle.
we knew them four...

Very strange that they're seemingly only taking two commentary teams to Brazil.
the others will Off Tube maybe, and if they are, its a load of rubbish....
as for the england matches the pundits, Keane, Dixon, and Hoddle?
I wonder if the studio pundits will also be co-comms for off tube games?
It's still not a great line up but Cannavaro could be interesting
not a bit, id say very, none of the pundits are really co comms, part from dixon though..
Aren't ITV going to be based in Rio? If so that rules out pundits as co-comms as I'm guessing that the off tubing will be done from UK?
What insight will he bring?
no Ned as a reporter?
no none at all really....
