The Football World Cup used to be the most exciting sporting event on earth. Until Sony SIX took over the broadcasting rights!
Have you ever wondered why football in India is so messed up? Tune into Sony Six and check out Café Rio. The Indian coverage of the World Cup will tell you everything that is wrong with football in India!
What does Gaurav Kapur or Nikhil Chinapa have to do with football? This is the World Cup not MTV! Come to think of it, what does John Abraham have to do with football (except his movie Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal?)
So why are these guys messing with us? This is like the IPL Extraaa Innings… only this is worse. Here is what the people have to say!
We all waited for the World Cup for this?
Holy Crap. So World Cup coverage starts on Sony Six and Gaurav Chopra opens with Mikel Silvestre of all people. Way to turn people off.
— Mr. Miyagi (@MainBhiPhenku) June 12, 2014 Nobody is happy with Sony Six and their show!
The IPLization of FIFA #WorldCup … right now on Sony Six.
— Chetan Narula (@chetannarula) June 12, 2014 Wondering what’s the worst part about the World Cup?
That scary moment when the match is over and we have to listen to expert comments by Gaurav Kapoor and John Abraham ~ #mercy #CafeRio
— Swapnil K (@swapnilk27) June 12, 2014 So this is why the show is so bad!
Craziest explanation: its full moon and friday the 13th, hence the horror show on #caferio #sonysix
— Sunayana Suresh (@sunayanasuresh) June 12, 2014 That once-in-four-years feeling is dead!
You wait for 4 years for the world cup and then you see some dumb chick and John Abraham talk football and the feeling dies. #CafeRio
— Bhavesh (@Bhavesh_038) June 12, 2014 But you have to admit they do give useful information!
Great footballing knowledge being disseminated on Sony Six…. Like How much Abhishek Bachchan loves football & what he tweets #FifaWorldCup
— N.Sudarshan (@sudunarayan) June 12, 2014 India football captain Sunil Chhetri also gets the treatment!
#sunil @SonySIX d way he talk proves how good we Indians are in bakarchodi 🙂 he talks like legendary international player.
— Rajat jain (@crazyboyhunk) June 14, 2014 Now you know why India are 154th in FIFA rankings!
Someone @SonySIX please pull the plug on #CafeRio , you guys are embarrassing yourselves and the import sitting there in shock wondering WTF!
— Laylin (@laylin) June 14, 2014 Poor Peter Crouch!
Peter Crouch missing out on the WorldCup with England & now suffering the pain of #SonySix #CafeRio . Doesn’t look like a good year for him.
— Naveen J. Shetty (@shettytweets) June 13, 2014 It just keeps getting worse!
What the hell Sony Six after idiot @gauravkapur a bigger idiot @nikhilchinapa on #CafeRio @sonysix Epic fail. Read Twitter reviews
— Yuvii (@iamyuvigak) June 14, 2014 Why can’t they just hire real football experts?
And wait how is Nikhil Chinappa any better. What is wrong with Sony Six!
— Coup de Maître (@Decloned_iTaz) June 14, 2014 How will they know the footballers? They don’t even know each other!
Its Silvestre not Silvester you stupid Gaurav Kapur. At least get the names of your ‘pundits’ right. Basic expectation, that mate. @SonySIX
— Akshay Mhaskar (@akshay281) June 15, 2014 What’s wrong with John Abraham?
haha john is actually talking about his film goal !!!! both the film and this is show is #EpicFail #CafeRio @SonySIX
— Puneet Barjatya (@PNTBA) June 12, 2014 The news we all wish comes true!
I think @SonySix sacked John Abraham
— Arnab Modi (@justicearnab) June 14, 2014 It also inspired a lot of memes.
Just to compare… Here is the Football World Cup panel for BBC’s coverage!
And almost fittingly, some guy created a petition to get rid of Gaurav Kapur.
It’s time to save football!
