I think so - I'm in a noisy bar in Spain, it was certainly a female interviewer but couldn't say exactly who.
Quite impressed by BeIn Sports and the production values. Keys and Gray with several pundits including Kevin Keegan, and a MNF style touchscreen for Andy Gray.
Apparently Phil Neville's commentary was received well by the people who inhabit Twitter - #monotone was trending 20 minutes into the match. "sounds like a Dignitas satnav", "ruining this World Cup similar to the way vuvuzela's ruined the the last one" and "Is Phil Neville doing the commentary from his bed. It's like he's trying to avoid waking his wife & kids up" are personal favourites, but this one beats the lot...
Must be the first time for a long time a live match has gone out on the main BBC or ITV channels with just one commentator. It comes as a welcome relief after Phil Neville.
Was the Steven Gerrard interview with Gabby Logan from the world feed? I noticed she was holding a generic World Cup microphone and the interview was in front of the sponsor boards that are used for the world feed interviews.
BBC taking Martin Fisher's commentary for Uruguay vs Costa Rica highlights. I think that was from the world feed also.
HBS usually use an interviewer from the rights holder of the game native to the country (aka bbc this time) therefore Gabby Logan was on the world feed.

Bein Sports 11 Middle East its a channel thats got bigger and bigger over the years its no surprise to hear this
The female interviewer if she was interviewing Steven Gerrard would be Gabby Logan.
The EBIF show is on 7e and 10e but as always encrypted, I've never seen this EBIF show on any european provider but apparantly its popular according to HBS.
Seeing those England players walking into the studio is a bit unsettling, especially for Roy Hodgson I'd imagine.
It just scared the crap out of me.
Creepy, and crass. In fact the whole programme was a triumph of presentation over content, gimmicky 3D glass effect captions, pop up GMB sytle banners, like 'Countdown to Kick Off' , ridiculously hyped up
and dramatised promos, the sort of floss you sit through in a cinema while waiting for the main feature, and FFS what was the point of that Great British Bake Off promo 10 mins into the programme ?
I know pundits aren't known as being the most exciting of TV personalities but I'm finding Henry, Shearer and Ferdinand incredibly dull. ITV also clearly missing Roy Keane, but at least their team seems to be awake.
