The World Cup gets underway in Russia later this week, and as part of our build-up we looked at the TV coverage, which is a big part of the event for many people.

In the UK, it's all about whether the BBC or ITV will provide the better analysis.

But here in Ireland, we have long prided ourselves on the quality of RTE's panel of pundits, which for a long time consisted of John Giles, Eamon Dunphy and Liam Brady, with the late Bill O'Herlihy steering the discussion.

RTE have added some new faces since then, and this year will see a female pundit joining the panel, in the form of US women's team goalkeeper and World Cup winner Hope Solo.

Kieran Cunningham, chief sports writer with the Irish Daily Star, and Sinead O'Carroll, news editor with thejournal.ie, discussed how the various TV channels will fare in their coverage, and some memorable moments from over the years.
