Idk if I'm the only one, but I don't think there is anything sweeter than an English accent calling a game.

Its not even that Gus is American; its just that he is a shitty and annoying announcer.
Wynalda is just another story altogether. Never seen a player who played a game at a high level sound so clueless about whats going on.

Ian Darke is magical
I understand what O'Brien is saying, but ain't nobody close to as qualified doing what Ian does.
Hell, I think Ian's been calling USA games, although not exclusively, since 1994. I know he called the Colombia and Brazil matches.

As long as they speak the queens English they're probably better than some whitewashed American Hollywood personality with about as much concept of the sport as a hybrid tomato.

I honestly give 0 fricks about where the commentators are from so long as they are pleasant to listen to. I happen to really like Alejandro Moreno and he's got a pretty thick Venezuelan accent.
People are making too big a deal out of this "if you want America to like soccer be less English about it." I don't think people are intentionally being European; people are just using the terms associated with the game. When I say kit instead of jersey I don't think how English I'm being by saying it.

I always thought the great announcers were Irish or Scotch.
Who is the guy that is always saying "he hit that one just a bit heavy" on passes that miss the mark?

I tried watching the MLS game tonight, announcers ruin it. You go from the brilliance of the world cup to shitty American announcers.
How many chapters will unfold?
