For those wondering, although Mark Saggers was presenting from Lourie Lodge, Jim and Ray were commentating from Nelson Mandela Bay (as was confirmed when I tuned in during the half-time interval and at full-time, when they commented on the weather and were wished a safe journey home).
Seeing as both Jim and Ray are due to be play important roles in the station's World Cup Final coverage, I think it was a brave decision by talkSPORT to send them to Port Elizabeth to do tonight's game on-site, what with the lingering worries over air travel after the problems that hit Durban on Wednesday. Fingers crossed that they make it back to Johannesburg without any hiccups and in good time for the game tomorrow. |

Before I put the 5 Live stats up, does anyone know if Waddle contributed during the match or just before, halftime and after. Thanks.
Do you have the details of Five Live's coverage (including presenters, pundits, reporters etc would be good) from last night? |

Chris was contributing during the match as well.

Commentary was: Mike Ingham (1-22), Alan Green (23-45) & Chris Waddle with Graham Taylor chipping in on occassions. Post Match saw them interview an emotional Guillem for a bit before Alan Green commentated on the presentation. Bit of a review with Taylor and Waddle about the tournament then Green did 606 till 11pm. |

Sunday 11th July - talkSPORT
Mark Saggers presenting World Cup Matchday Live from Soccer City Stadium, Johannesburg alongside Ray Parlour, Stan Collymore and Adrian Durham FIFA 2010 World Cup Final Netherlands v Spain - Jim Proudfoot and Stan Collymore (commentary) Ian Abrahams has been interviewing the Dutch and Spanish fans in Johannesburg and will be conducting interviews in the mixed zone after the match Ray stayed on at Soccer City to co-host the first hour of The Late Show with Ian Collins, which was branded as a World Cup programme going into breaks. According to @talkbackstuck on Twitter, Jon Norman and Matt Smith were producing the talkSPORT coverage from Soccer City while James Masterton and Sam Impey were driving the show from London. True to talkSPORT's chaotic form at the tournament, it's been said on there that Jon Norman only found out he was producing the final 90 minutes before the coverage started and Villa Matt was a late call-up too. As a caveat, I didn't hear Adrian Durham during the bits of the coverage I listened to (which was most of the first hour and a half before the TV coverage started and then during the last half hour). He'd said earlier that he was going to the final, so maybe he was just there as a fan. He may have popped up as a phone guest but even if he did he would only have played a minor role in their coverage. Apparently John Anderson was still in South Africa too, although I don't think he's done any reporting since England flew home so he might have stayed on-site as a fan too. Some of the talkSPORT team are staying in South Africa to continue broadcasting - Mark Saggers presented the Sports Breakfast from Johannesburg (which begs the question why they decided to fly Ian Danter back to the UK sooner than expected) and I think he's covering for part of the week, while Ian Abrahams read today's morning sports bulletins from there too although is flying home this afternoon. The station has been quick in reverting back to normal from their "World Cup station" moniker though, with the bumpers going into their hourly news updates now stating that they are "an official broadcaster of the Barclays Premier League" rather than of the FIFA World Cup. |

Mark Pougatch presented from the ground. Guillem Balague was with him for most of the pre match and Graham Taylor. They also had a dutch journalist for a time but I didn't catch his name.
Commentary was: Mike Ingham (1-22), Alan Green (23-45) & Chris Waddle with Graham Taylor chipping in on occassions. Post Match saw them interview an emotional Guillem for a bit before Alan Green commentated on the presentation. Bit of a review with Taylor and Waddle about the tournament then Green did 606 till 11pm. I've subsequently had a listen on the IPlayer after you posted those details and the Dutch journalist 5 Live called upon was Marcel Van Der Kraan. Like Guillem Balague is with Spain, Marcel is one of talkSPORT's regular Dutch football correspondents. It is interesting that Guillem, Marcel, Raphael Honigstein, Tim Vickery and other non-UK based football journalists appeared on both stations during the World Cup. The reporters that were heard during their build-up were Mark Clemmit (in Amsterdam) and Sarah Rainsford (in Madrid) giving the atmosphere from the competing countries, plus Graham Hunter (a Catalonia based journalist who is a regular on Sky Sports and talkSPORT) had done a pre-recorded report about Carles Puyol. It was mentioned that Alistair Yeomans was 5 Live's producer at Soccer City, although I'm not sure if he conducted any of their after-match interviews or if they just relied on those done by BBC TV's Garth Crooks. |
