Rooney said this as wellOur Gary was the lead Kane cheerleader this entire tournament, even as going as far to say he was the greatest England player ever(!)

Cucharella cost spain in a goal in the final...
I mean, Neville give his opinion on the player before the tourney. What's he supposed to do? Say feck all and sit on the fence.
Everyone knows those are called a lot more often than not, hence why defenders usually don't block shots with their hands in the box.By having his hands down by his side?
Sure, but he's in the entertainment biz. He's there to give out opinions. I don't think what he said was personal about the lad. Of course, now he'll have to get stick back at him and take it on the chin. That's the nature of his job.Firstly, it's Cucurella. Put some respect on the man's name for the love of god!
Secondly, you can give your opinion as a pundit without being a dick.
He's got previous for this kinda thing, he's trying to be entertaining and ends up regretting it.
I like Gary Neville and this isn't a huge deal. I fully expect him to hold his hands up with a sheepish grin on his next podcast but he tries too hard sometimes.
It's not like he was talking trash about Maldini!

Gary has become a caricature, An unchecked hyperbole machine and he plays the role well. It doesn’t matter much what he says or how ridiculous it sounds, as long as he makes us think he believes it.
It’s not just straight punditry anymore, it is an entertainment sideshow, and the more outrageous his take the more interaction, headlines, likes and clicks it will drive - he is competing with the likes of Goldbridge.
Money wise maybe, to me him and Keane have lost some dignity in their roles with Sky in the past couple years, or I'm just getting tired of them. Neville by turning into a hot take machine and Keane by playing a caricature of himself.

At the side of his body like every other defender?Where are his arms suppose to be?

I don't care other than wanting to point out that calling the one player that could have cost Spain their run in their 7 games the weak point isn't entirely out of this world.
Yeah, this really wound me up too. Pretty even in terms of general play up to that point.He has literally no interesting in praising United in any form does he? Fulham "clearly" the better team.... sure pal. He does not commentate like this for anyone else either, with everything bad highlighted and silence for any decent passage of play, strange shit.
"Fulham have dominated these first 4 minutes of the second half"“United have been marginally better in the last 5/10 minutes”. Well done Gary, it might have taken you 30 minutes but managed to say something somewhat positive in the end.
'Fulham have been so good'
'It's a scuffed cross'
'He deflected it into the goal'
'Did it come off Bassey?'
That was Neville's genuine reaction to Zirkzee's goal.
I've mentally separated them into two entities now. Gary the player and Gary the Pundit. The player was a hero, loved him. Gary the pundit is turning into a complete muppet on our games, constantly playing up the bad sides and dampening down the good stuff. Even if it's about trying to be impartial he's taken it too far the other way. Sky really need to offer a commentaryless soundtrack at this point, it would be so much better.He's a Utd legend and I know he's a fan but his commentary is insufferable.
As someone just said, he’s fine and positive post game if United have been decent.
But in game, he’s insufferable.
Picks on every little detail to be, not quite anti United, but falling over the fence onto the ABU side.
I think it’s the many years of underperforming that has warped him, but I do hope he’s not beyond redemption
