To be fair, it's rather easier to go in-depth with Spain v Holland than it'll be with, say, Colombia v Greece.
Doesn't half make you feel old to see Daley Blind in the Dutch line-up when you can clearly remember his rather Danny Blind playing two decades ago.

For some reason you can listen to camp commentary with Scott Mills, too.
I see the idea of those cheesy poses the players make when showing the line-ups has spread from Sky Sports.
Just realised I have 2 Dutch players in my fantasy football team but no Spaniards.
Come on the Netherlands!!
Come on the Netherlands!!

No. I'm wondering where the Beeb got those animations from. Are they a FIFA thing? Or did they go round to all the teams and filmed them folding their arms?

True, but if you're being paid large amounts of money to be a pundit the least you could do is perform a quick Google search and maybe watch a YouTube video or two.

Why are both teams playing in their secondary kits?

good point, i can't imagine the BBC taking time to get all the teams to do that, i wonder why ITV aren't using it if its a FIFA thing

As opposed to the very camp commentary from Lawrenson

Must be FIFA, I doubt the Beeb knocked on the door of every team and asked "excuse me, can your players pose like twats?"

Because they haven't got time to run through them all after the adverts have been shown.
