Quality punditry: ITV’s Clarke Carlisle can’t understand why Jackson Martinez doesn’t get into Ecuador team

A stint on Countdown doesn't mean you need to be good at geography.

JOE is currently enjoying the Switzerland v Ecuador match in the company of Billo and the lads, but over on ITV Clarke Carlisle has dropped a bit of a punditry clanger. Discussing the Ecuadorian side, Carlisle expressed his surprise that Jackson Martinez can't get into the team. Martinez plays for Colombia. Eesh.

Yeah true. Clarke Carlisle is somehow right. Jackson Martinez cannot get into Ecuador team as he is from Columbia. Lol. — Chew Chin Sian (@chinsian) June 15, 2014

Clarke Carlisle: "Ecuador have a great team, even Jackson Martinez can't get in it".... Yeah that, and he's from Colombia!! — liam anderson (@Cantona03Liam) June 15, 2014

 

Will Clarke Carlisle apologise to Jackson Martinez's mother for his nationality error? https://t.co/odFqNV8e9u — Scott McClymont (@mcclymontscott) June 15, 2014
