Red Argie is obviously some stalker, knows nothing about the game, anyone helping out this crap is crap equally. Harrassing on this board is against the regs. I suspect some board members, as shown above, using the "coded" talk, and helping out this filth, for female divorcee lynch mob mentalities, can't do crap for humankind.
You seem a tad excited old chap. Cut out the amphetamines and lie down in a darkened room with a towel over your face
HA HA, Doctor dogcrap and footidiot, menacing stalkers, bring stuff i know about, like that italian molester at the ymca, coming with this garbage of this "Italian woman at the health club" you are menacing pansies, one good reason to register to put molestors like you on ignore
^^^ Not so sure about that. ESPN just invented the nation of Baharain. I think it's located somewhere close to Bahrain, but that's just a guess.
[QUOTE='Strobaby]Wynalda seems to be in studio for ESPN and ESPN2 games only. I've never seen anything about him doing the matches themselves. I was all over the ESPN site trying to find a way to complain about Dave to ABC, and didn't see anything about EW announcing.[/QUOTE] Wynalda's in the studio. On a leash.
At least we have Ray Hudson (good Newcastle man!) https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8721779#post8721779
DOB is open in his Becks-crush isn't he? The man takes criticism for the fact that he's not a complete midfielder. He's a big boy. There's no need for DOB to bring up time and again that Becks is getting harshed on. He's dealt with it for years.
Thank god the pub I went to at lunchtime had the Canuck Uk-piggyback feed (Rogers?), proper announcer (dull but effective), no ludicrous graphics taking up screen real-estate and lots of pre/mid/after match banter. Shame the game was dire for such long stretches.
[QUOTE='Strobaby]^^^ Not so sure about that. ESPN just invented the nation of Baharain. I think it's located somewhere close to Bahrain, but that's just a guess.[/QUOTE] They also moved Wrexham to England...
Even the English commentator had to correct himself on that one. That they play in the English League not in England itself.
I just want to thank ESPN for explaining to me what a cap is. Thank you. I'd been baffled all these years.
Smyth is brilliant! When the Togo-Korea match was 1-0 he and Healey managed to deduce that if you took that goal away, it would probably be a nil-nil game....
the American commentators are pretty terrible, but maybe its a good idea for us to remember that they are generally working for an audience that knows little about the game. it seems to me that most of the american broadcasts are geared towards getting non-soccer fans interested in the sport. still, they seem to be doing a pretty abysmal job on that score too.
maybe it's just a cockney thing. i'm an amerk with a geordie family and i though geezer was an old person like here in the US
[QUOTE='Strobaby]^^^ Not so sure about that. ESPN just invented the nation of Baharain. I think it's located somewhere close to Bahrain, but that's just a guess.[/QUOTE]Just below it...Lower rain...??? It's just like Baha California. Or my Okie buddie calls Texas, Baha Oklahoma.
Oklahoma? You mean North Texas, right? The commentators are rehashing the Osvaldo Sanchez sob story about his father. I'm truly sorry the man lost his father, but Sanchez doesn't seem to making as big a deal about it as the ESPN commentators are. Oh, and while I'm glad the Mexican public has gathered together in Mexico City to watch the match, I really don't need to see shots of millions of Mexicans in the plaza mid-match. I'd rather watch the action on the pitch.
But why do they always commentate in the future tense? Its just downright wierd. He will go the long pass... He will score... He will put a boot through his TV screen. etc. Why the future for something that we've just seen happen and is therefore in the past? Its driving me quietly crazy
I loved how in the 75th minute or so of the Mexico-Angola match, the announcers told us that Borgetti will miss the Mexico-Angola match. We'd sort of figured that out by then, but thanks ESPN.
"That's 6 foot lower, it's a goal. The keeper was beaten" See not always.....but then it didn't happen...
