Moyes lands plum World Cup boondoggle | OneFootball

Instead of spending the summer working on how to improve his Everton side that is set to finish the season without a win in the entirety of April and May,  David Moyes will be supplementing his generous Everton pay packet by doing World Cup punditry for TalkSport.

The Everton manager is joining a squad that includes Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, former England international Kyle Walker, Emmanuel Petit who was a World Cup winner in 1998, former Netherlands and Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and  British rapper and Tottenham fan AJ Tracey.

The action begins in North America on 11 June when Mexico take on South Africa and ends in New York for the final on 19 July.

Scotland begin their campaign against Haiti on 14 June, then play Morocco on 19 June -- both in Boston -- and Brazil in Miami on 24 June.

England, meanwhile, start on 17 June against Croatia in Dallas, then face Ghana in Boston on 23 June and go to New York to play Panama on 27 June.

I've just read this story that Moyes will be a pundit for TalkSport for the World Cup, following in the footsteps of Roberto all those years ago when things first began to go tits up.

Not only that, but TalkSport are flying their pundits over to America, so if he stays out there the whole time, or even 3-4 weeks, that is a direct impact on our pre-season. A really bad one.

He'll hate watching Brazil.

Ha ha you could not make this up "let me tell you where Harry Kane is going wrong...he's scoring too many goals and not tracking back enough"

Premier League Manager Watches World Cup, is a better headline...

Honestly, get a grip with this utter nonsense. Or is this now the Daily Moan?

Restrict him to commentating on games involving attacking teams only. He may be able to learn how to do that

Actually, I was worried I'd have to watch him bumble on endlessly but thankfully he's not on telly.

And I neverever listen to TalkShite... so Double Winny!
