MICAH RICHARDS was slated by World Cup fans – after making a bold outfit choice live on air.
The former England defender, 37, was on BBC punditry duties as the Three Lions were held to a dull goalless draw by Ghana.

And Richards donned a £290 double-breasted jacket by fashion brand Maniere De Voir, which is owned by ex-Manchester City team-mate Reece Wabara.
But viewers flooded onto social media to cheekily claim Richards – who was in the studio alongside Gabby Logan, Wayne Rooney and Joe Hart – had turned up for the wrong BBC show.
One said: “Has he come from MasterChef?”
Another added: “Micah Richards thought he’d been invited to appear on MasterChef this evening.”

A third chimed in: “Micah Richards looking like he’s come hotfoot from the MasterChef Final.”
A fourth noted: “What is Micah Richards wearing? Dressed like the head chef at a luxury hotel who has been asked to cover punditry at short notice.”
And a fifth claimed: “Why did Micah Richards look like he’d turned up at Chef College without his uniform, and had to get something out of the lost property box?”
Fierce criticism of Richards’ garb came days after he took a brutal swipe at BBC host Mark Chapman’s look.
