#EURO2016 's final four is set: #POR vs #WAL and #FRA vs #GER . Semis are Wed and Thurs on ESPN. pic.twitter.com/epXCUqfxkw— bill hofheimer (@bhofheimer_espn) July 3, 2016 No official word yet on the commentator teams for the semifinals. My guesses are - Champion/Robson will call the Wales/Portugal match. While Darke/Twellman will call the Germany/France match.

Before #EURO2016 ends this wk, a great look here at the making of ESPN's graphics package, via @motionographer. https://t.co/G7qbeX4Cpq— bill hofheimer (@bhofheimer_espn) July 6, 2016
Richard Ortiz is entertaining, but he shouts in a monotonous, high pitch that makes me tired. Fernando Palomo is amazing, I absolutely recommend him. Too bad that he doesn't appear in South Americans anymore. By the way, he is the current announcer of EA FIFA.
They are showing the replay on the main Espn from 7-9 tonight. Must be a really slow night. Can't believe no one saw Lebron do something in the last two days that they couldn't make into a two hour special.
Let's hope the Wimbledon final doesn't become one of these marathons, since ESPN has the Euro final scheduled on the same channel following the tennis match.
Was thinking the same thing when I set up both to record, and a bit surprised they were both on ESPN. It's OK I guess if you're watching it live and they tell you to switch channels to continue. But unfortunately DVR's are just not swift enough to deal with this. So you're right... let's hope!
I've only used WatchESPN a little. How are they about spoilers? Some of the others (NBC and/or FOX I can't remember) usually seem to have some sort of headlines or ticker which gives away the score of the match you're coming to watch after the fact, ugh.
WatchESPN doesn't show tickers on its soccer replays in general (although I can only speak for Euros + qualifiers, MLS and NASL) In fact I prefer watching their MLS matches on replay there since they run the ticker on the live telecast.

Today is Championship Sunday on ESPN. @IanDarke will call #EURO2016 finals. If he was doing #Wimbledon too ... https://t.co/7msxrx8o5b— bill hofheimer (@bhofheimer_espn) July 10, 2016
Just watched the preview show. Why was Abby there? I thought we were done with her after the opening weekend
