Mexico vs. Cameroon - Fernando Palomo y Alejandro Moreno
Spain vs. Netherlands - Jon Champion & Stewart Robson
Chile vs. Australia - Daniel Mann & Kasey Keller

Colombia vs. Greece - Adrian Healey & Taylor Twellman
Uruguay vs. Costa Rica - Jon Champion & Stewart Robson
England vs. Italy - Ian Darke & Steve McManaman
Ivory Coast vs. Japan - Derek Rae & Efan Ekoku

I am so fricking going to miss Ian Darke when this thing goes over to fricktard Fox. Also pumped to hear Derek Rae again. This man was the voice of the Champions League for years on ESPN and one of my absolute favorites. Jon Champion is pretty solid and Taylor Twellman is frick.

Any thoughts?

ETA: Wildly disappointed this overlaps with Wimbledon because Chris Fowler was fantastic in South Africa. I'd trade Tirico for him in a heartbeat.

I actually prefer T&T to Twellman.

Champion is a pretty famous English announcer. Robson is his annoying color man.

Champion has done EPL on the worldwide feed for a little while now. Robson played for Arsenal and Coventry for years. Maybe West Ham too?

Mann has done EPL for Sky Sports for a few years now. I recognize his name, but I gotta tell you I probably couldn't pick out his voice.

Listening to Twellman attempt to interrupt Solari, Ballack, van Nistelrooy and Gilberto is absolutely hysterical. What a twerp.

I can´t believe Ballack and Lalas aren´t a pair for this WC. High comedy. High comedy.

You may be thinking of Ray Hudson.

A bit disappointed that Martin Tyler won't be doing anything that is televised here in the States, along with some of the other English guys.

I feel sorry for Kasey. I love what he did for the US, but he is just not good at this analyst thing.

On the preview show yesterday, they were talking about how Brazil has Group A on lock and he said something about not sleeping on Chile. He thought they were in the group. Bob Ley had to politely correct him and Ballack had a "WTF" look on his face.

I´m thinking of the mulatto guy who´s laughing on one clip, when they click back in on him, and he´s laughing hysterically and can´t believe some shite side has scored a goal.

They click back, and he can´t believe they´ve scored a second, etc..

All this, after he had reported that this club was down and out, and relegated.

You know who I´m talking about, I thought it was him. The guy is really endearing and hilarious.

He´s not blonde, but if he were, and I called him blonde, would you RA?

Or a redhead?
Or Asiatic?
Or Polynesian?

How do you physically describe this guy? With no physical description, we could be going ´round and ´round for weeks.

You are a douche of the first order (well, you already knew that, but I´m simply ratifying).
