Phil Neville Trends After Commentary Role on BBC During England vs. Italy

Mark PattersonJun 14, 2014

Phil Neville was the talk of Twitter during England's World Cup match with Italy, but we suspect he'd be better off not taking a look online at the comments about his commentary performance.

His dry delivery, which seemed to hide his excitement for the match, was dissected by Twitter users:

"
Phil Neville doing his job and looking after the heart-rates of a nation. Impossible to get excited with Phil around.

The BBC should've given Phil Neville a warm-up game. Just to, you know, make sure he didn't prove to be such a surreal co-commentator.
