Kate Abdo almost makes suffering through this commentary worth it. Almost.

I get what style this guy is going for, but it just doesn't work for the non-Hispanic American soccer viewing audience. Just like El Presidente. And I'm sure Hispanics would rather watch Univision than a bad imitation of Univision commentary in English.

I don't mind broadcast, but this Mexican announcer is the worst.

It truly is a damn shame ESPN didn't put up a fight for these tournament rights.

I honestly wonder what these former players think when Fernando Fiore tries to gives his post match analysis.

This is not what happened.

Fox paid a kings ransome didn't they?

I love how fox wants to make it an American experience, when no one was asking for it to be.

Unreal we have the WC on FOX. I was drunk with happiness for a week when the news the EPL TV rights moved away from FOX to NBC.

Yep, and it was a blind bidding process, so there was no way of knowing what the competitor was putting up.

ESPN went market value, Fox went well over it and FIFA gave them first rights for 2022 as well.

Fox has to make some on air personality changes. The broadcast could be so much better. ESPN and NBC both have shown soccer broadcasts in this country can be done the right way. So many bad or annoying or unqualified commentators and analysts:

Rob Stone
Alexi
Fiore
Stu Holden - this one hurts
Cobi Jones may be the worst color guy I've ever heard. Any sport.
Cobi's booth partner for the Portugal game (I don't know his name) might the worst play by play guy I've ever heard. Any sport.
fricking Dr. Joe

It really hurts the viewing experience.

Nothing wrong with these two... they know what they are talking about.

Fiore


The only reason people find him entertaining is because he's high energy and has an accent... He's awful for what they bill him as.

Stu Holden - this one hurts



Is really good

He's terrible.

fricking Dr. Joe



Terrible 75% of the time, the other 25% he actually adds something of note.

Stu's not bad, his voice just isn't made for TV analysis.
