I could listen to Gus and Ian Wright call a game every day of the week.

I know Gus is still learning, but he's a natural and will continue to get better.

I like him at times and other times I don't. I thought his call of Robben's game winner the other day was pretty terrible. Way too over the top with his voice cracking and all. Could just be me though

I agree. He seemed to dial it back on Saturday.

Until the goal. In the big time moments you dont necessarily have to have a big time moment as well (although it helps add to it as Ian Darke has done many times), but you cant do something that takes away from it. Robben's goal was a big moment, but Gus' call was distracting.

Oh god. He's awful. They really need to be playing wif widf. There is a reason he doesn't broadcast on England. Hes completely ridiculous. I love how Men I'm Blazers always rip on him. It's hilarious.

Disagree - he sucks complete balls for soccer and I hate that my World Cup will be ruined by him in 5 years.

Ian Wright and Gus are horrible. Ian Wright tries to criticize every single pass and shot and tell you what he would have done (all in an accent I think is English?). Gus is just painful to listen to and his knowledge, while growing, is wildly lacking.
