For games where you use in-studio commentating, could you do one (or more) of the following: 1 - Don't use in-studio commentating. I know this is unlikely, but your in-studio guys (Schoen, Bretos, etc) simply don't ever shut up, making them annoying. 2 - Turn up the crowd noise. 3 - Turn down the mikes on your commentators. 4 - Convince your in-studio commetators to talk less. ESPN may do quite a few things poorly with soccer broadcasts (Dave O'Brien, Jack Edwards, Rob Stone), but at least they let us hear the crowd noise (when it exists).
5. Convince yourself all in-studio commentators should be sacked. Already know what the La Liga coverage is like - just can wait to hear all about Juve, Ranieri, Mourinho, Chelsea, the scandal, the relegation, the promotion on first try.. Good research fsc boys..
