As part of Astro's comprehensive 2018 FIFA World Cup coverage, familiar names and new faces will be gracing the Astro SuperSport punditry set this June and July.
All of them, who will be sitting across hosts Adam Carruthers and Roshan Narayan throughout the tournament, impressively played on football's greatest stage at various points in their careers.
Gilberto Silva, who lifted the trophy in 2002 with Brazil, will be returning to Astro SuperSport alongside past guest pundits Danny Mills, Gaizka Mendieta, Sol Campbell, and Gary Stevens.
Christian Ziege and John Heitinga, who finished runners-up in the 2002 and 2010 editions respectively, as well as Sunday Oliseh, who famously scored Nigeria's winning goal against Spain at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, are among the new faces
Ex-Bayern Munich and Manchester United star Owen Hargreaves will also be making his first punditry appearance in Malaysia alongside fellow former Premier League players Djibril Cisse, Marcus Allback, and Luis Boa Morte.
