Favourite 16 reactions to Roy Keane’s brilliantly bleak England-Croatia punditry

With England in the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time since 1990, what could be better than an Irish pundit? An angry Irish pundit, that’s what!

No-one’s offered a bleaker take on the World Cup than ITV’s Roy Keane, but he really excelled himself during the defeat by Croatia which ended with this bizarre bust-up with his fellow panellist, Ian Wright.

Say what you like about ITV – please! – but you don’t get that on the BBC. Here are our favourite 16 reactions to Keane’s uniquely bleak punditry.

I enjoy Roy Keane being on the panel. It’s like a Samuel Beckett character has wandered in and he’s about to mutter: “Yes, there is football but there is also death.”
