Watching the World Cup Draw last night on BBC2, I couldn’t work out why Motty wouldn’t shut up. The German presenter was speaking English and was explaining step by step what was going on, but John Motson needed to talk over the top, get confused and make no sense at all.
We were informed by the German that if an African team came out of pot 3, they would be put against Argentina, so when the Ivory Coast came out Motty got very excited that they would be playing England, even though Argentina came up on the big screen at the back, the German said they would be playing Argentina and that the footballer picked them out of the C pot (Argentinas) to determine where in the group they would go.
