How polished can you really be in speaking a second language?

Vincent Kompany is pretty polished.

He´s been in England for awhile. Also, Belgians learn Flemish, French, German and English.
He´s got a better grasp of the tool known as language.

Russian streams of the Bundesliga were the only way to watch in HD until this season, so I have soft spot for their coverage. I guess I obviously didn't stick around to listen to their post game stuff since I don't speak Russian, so I have no idea.

I like most of the ESPN guys. I like LaBoeuf, Keller, Kompany, Macca, and Roberto Martinez.
I don't care for Twellman and Ballack isn't great, but the only guy that is truly a moron who I would fire if I was in charge is that Scottish guy Craig Burnley. He is like soccer's version of Joe Morgan.
Bob Ley, Tirico, and Marcotti are all excellent. Haven't heard Solari do a match yet. Apparently he is supposed to do some coverage though. He's usally pretty good.
I think ESPN's coverage is excellent. I wish they showed more replays of non-goal highlights, but the production values are high and I think it's a superior product to what is done in most European countries.

You can just tell there are times when Ballack doesn't fully understand a question Ley or Tirico ask him.
It's kinda sad because Ballack does make good points, but his english just isn't strong enough to fully convey them.
