I think i can quite confidently say that he is the worst commentator i have ever heard in my life. The other night in the Spain v Italy match for the whole of the second half he was calling Senna, Silva. You may think it's an easy mistake to make but seeing that Senna is black and plays defensive midlfield and Silva is white and plays on the wing, it's not that easy to make. And that's just one of the numerous mistakes he makes during matches, that along with pointing the bleeding obvious out all the time, his useless facts he comes out with and constantly missing key moments in the game i find it hard to understand how he's still the BBC's number one. I just thank god David Pleat is on ITV because if those two were put together i would have to avoid every match they commentate on together, Mark Lawernson, although himself not that great, makes it slightly more bareable listening to Motson.
Bad news about the match of the day stuff
