Clive Tyldesley's Commentary During Russia Vs. Saudi Arabia Leaves Fans In Stitches

Clive Tyldesley and Glenn Hoddle were on commentary duty for the opening game of the World Cup, with Tyldesley's words during Russia vs. Saudi Arabia leaving fans in stitches.

The 2018 World Cup is underway with tournament hosts Russia kicking-off proceedings by taking on Saudi Arabia.

And it only took Tyldesley 10 minutes to reference Soviet revolutionary, Stalin. Commenting on his 'proper' tashe.

And following Russia's opening goal, the camera panned to the directors box which showed Vladimir Putin shaking hands with a Saudi prince.

Naturally he hollered some more brilliant words.

"This game played out between the two largest crude oil-producing nations on the planet."

We've got a full month of Tyldesley's witty quips on ITV.
