Wide shot with ooooh the camera's near the ceiling now and is swinging downward.
Repeat ad nausium with occasional glitches in the background graphics.
The camera doesn't need to be moving all the time on wide shots. It's like a helium balloon being blown around the studio.
Bonus moan - Paul Scott doing commentary on the Australia vs Turkey match. Fair play if you want to pronounce a country's name like it would be in their native language. Feels a bit pretentious to me but to each their own.
However you better be doing it for every other non native English speaking country from now on. I expect to hear Deutschland, Nihon/Nippon etc. Maybe even use the gaelic Alba for Scotland.
And at the very, very least settle on one pronunciation per game.
Turkey/Turkiye was variously Turkey-ah, Turk-eye-ah and Turk-A-ah this morning
