Problem is we haven’t been good long enough or consistently enough to test this theory and given all available evidence we probably won’t soon.
Oh, I absolutely agree. I was making the distinction between play by play and color commentator. Alan Greene is the worst play by play announcer in the league, easily. I've heard NPSL announcers who are better.
He's quite popular in England: Will Five Live's Alan Green please shut up! BBC commentator remains the self-important, patronising, infuriating voice of radio
Are they the same person? The Alan Greene that does Atlanta games is utterly clueless about MLS and can barely string a sentence together. He routinely mispronounces names, has an almost astonishing ignorance of the league's history, seems to have a teenager's grasp of the subtleties of the game, and spends most of his on-air time verbally fellating Atlanta's players and staff. This Alan Green sounds more like an American-style sports radio type; an aggressive blowhard. Anyway, f*** Ross Smith. The fact that he was furiously masturbating after that despicable 4th goal would be reason enough for me to loathe him, but truth be told, I've wanted to push him in front of a hipster riding a fixie for years.
Yes. http://www.philly.com/philly/sports...chapter-of-his-story-in-atlanta-20170826.html Definitely the same person.
Look, the US managed to sneak Kyle Martino into NBCSN 's Studio TV for the EPL. When Sebastian Salazar filled in for Rebecca for one weekend, Sebi got relegated to ESPN. Sometimes we got to be happy with what we got and hope the next generation can take these positions.
