Don't frick it up.





Seriously though, I'm going to miss ESPN's presentation of these last 2 World Cups. I would put it up against any station in the world that was broadcasting the tournament.

Bob Ley, Ian Darke, and the Men in Blazers are the high points.

I love ESPN's coverage.

Watching a soccer match without 2 British announcers really just doesn't feel right. I hated listening to Taylor Twellman and that Mexican guy in this WC, and Gus Johnson really can't do soccer very well either.

Best thing espn does by far. It's a fricking travesty that fox gets it. I can see the big robot dribbling on the TV now.

Fat Mario just scored a World Cup final-winning goal. Lay off.

I truly fear it will be atrocious, especially with those two douchebags.

Last call was a great segment. I wish Espn could find a way to incorporate that format into other coverage. It's great to have knowledgeable people discussing the sport.

I also can't wait to see what terrible tv show fox will tout every possible second.

It seems like fox is taking the let's Americanize soccer approach, that Espn tried already and abandoned.
