Best Dumb tweet of the day, Someone who said Fox Sports and ESPN would hire more Brits to cover US soccer. Yes because Euros are the only ones that can speak about the sports /sarcasm. I think it good to have a good mix maybe 60/40 leaning towards Americans.
I love Twellman and Lalas for their scoops and contacts, but neither of them are any good at calling a game. The only good ones I have heard have been english, topped off by the absolute best, Ian Darke.
John Strong and JP Dellecamera are good.
You haven't heard a soccer game being called until you've heard Wynalda.
And after you've heard one, you will never hear one again. In fact, you never will hear one, because you can't get through an entire one of his matches.
I thought Twellman was solid during the World Cup. Not sure I agree.
They don't call the game though, they're just analysts/color guys and Twellman does a great job. Ian Darke should be compared to Dellacamera, not TT or Lalas.
OH MY GOD! That was a penalty! Ten minutes of exasperated harping on the fact that should have been a penalty. OH MY GOD! He should have hit that first time! Ten minutes of harping on why he should have hit it first time. OH MY GOD! How could he call that penalty! Ten minutes of harping on hwy that shouldn't have been a penalty. etc
O/U at 3. Per month. Two biggest blowhards out there.
And no one is going to give props to Martino? He's an analyst/color guy who is just excellent. McBride is pretty good, as well.
Wynalda turns everyone's stomach. He's such a gigantic dickhead.
I'm sure people knowing John Harkes slept with his wife puts a chip on his shoulders.
