Thank heavens Greenwood isn't involved in ITV's coverage this time around, he really was a particularly annoying piece of work as a co-commentator.”

I always got the impression that Greenwood thinks he is an awful lot funnier than he actually is. I have a DVD of the successful 2003 World Cup campaign where Greenwood is one of the main talking heads for the England team, and every time he is on screen he is trying to make a joke or a funny remark. I've always found him extremely annoying.
