Watching on FSWEspanhol the Libertadores match between Paysandu (Brasil) and Catolica (Chile) and these jerks are TOTALLY rooting for the Chilean team. Worse is that they act as if they are actually calling the game as a Chilean station, I mean when Paysandu scored they barely yelled goal and the whole match they talked crap about Paysandu being a bad team (umm 2 weins , 1 tie so far). Sure Brasil is practically the only non-Spanish speaking country in South America but gimme a freaking break.
Didn't watch that particular game, but in most of the games in which a Chilean team plays the Fox commentators are Chileans... so there you have a reason for this.
No they're not. FS Espanol has two sets of regular staffs. One is completely Argentine, they live in Argentina and they actually work for Torneos y Competencias, the production company that owns Futbol de Primera, the Argie league highlights show. They also have cable channels in Argentina. Fox and TyC must have some sort of deal. They're the ones that call most of the Libertadores games and they travel to some of the several Libertadores venues. Once there, sometimes they use local people as sideline reporters. I've seen that in Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay. The Paysandu-Catolica game was called directly from their Buenos Aires studio, and if they were rooting for the Chileans that was certainly due to the hatred that the Argies have against anything Brazilian. Then there's the staff who calls the Premiership, Uefa Cup, some internationals and the Libertadores games when Mexicans teams play, they are mostly Mexican although I know for sure there's a chilean there and I think a guy from Central America, although I'm not exactly sure from what country. These guys are US based and they call every game from the studio. On the other hand, when Fox Espanol broadcasts games from the domestic Chilean, Colombian and Honduran leagues, they use local people, who most likely are the ones who make the original commentary for their own countries. In the case of the Chileans I know for sure, because if you watch TV Chile International you'll see it's the same people.
Oh, and about this, you're absolutely right, those Argie Fox commentators are certainly biased in favor of the Argie teams, against anyone who plays against them and in favor of anyone who plays against the Brazilians.
they are argies they only know about his local league and players at least we can see the tournament on tv!
the way i see it and this is my opinion only... the commentating on fswe is excellent except for some sorry a$$ mexican dude. i do know that they favor argentine teams over any other team and they try to ignore certain things that happen in argentina..(Ex.) in the gimnasia v olimpia game a paraguayan was going to take a throw in and a fan was a few feet from the player and clearly spit at the player and it was so visible. the player even turned around and said something to him but the commentators kept on going on. but in the nacional v san lorenzo game they went crazy and demanded that the game be stopped.
SAMUEL JACOBO, tambien hace radio en la pelea diaria con Jorge ramos y Hammer Londono en radio Unica. pero a ese solo lo ponen a relatar juegos mexicanos
ayer el boludo de fox: " partido para toda america, pero especialmente para la hinchada de River" y empezo el relato nooooo no esta cargado para ningun lado! se le olvida que esta en ecuador y para toda america. como me gustaria saber los raiting de la copa pais por pais - incluyendo Usa y Mexico despues del botellazo, el gordo boludo que hace comentarios desde la cancha, se metio en la trifulca y anunciaba guardar/mostrar una de las botellas que calleron cerca del arco de river.... que paso con ese rollo! tiro libre, cobran y cae botellita de vidrio en hombro del portero de river, rebota la bola y en el remate golazo.....de tiro que se le paso! en definitiva era un buen disparo, pero la botella le quito la concentracion de la pelota y quedo falto de reaccion inmediata, Lo vieron? perdio river 3-1
Every match I've seen with a Colombian club the commentators were obviously rooting for the other team.
Most South American anouncers are homers. That includes the Brazilian anouncers too. Cantor is a good anouncer, he tends to be fair to both sides. But Norberto Longo is an idiot. He distracts from the game with his irrelevant comments. (IMHO).
>>they are argies they only know about his local league and players at least we can see the tournament on tv! >> Actually that not true. I notice that they even give scores and data on local Brazilian championships so they at least do there homework and know the local rivalries in Brazil. YES they are biased, BUT they do know about teams and traditions from other countries.
me voy a ver el juego de Boca con los toreros a ver que dicen los babosos de Fox......Pues en el 2nd tiempo ya gana barcelona con tiro de Ariel G Dim acba de meter go de chilena.... minuto 10 y el rojo esta encima del cacique! PUCHHHH
john0 do you know if many people are watching the libertadores on Eurosport? Do they show the games live or tape delayed?
STFU Cmon people, have u seen the commentators for the gringos on abc/espn? they are bias phucks, and they really suck too. From what ive seen, all commentators are biased, some alot, some a little. Just get over it, and be happy that u are atleast able watch the games. sheesh...
I agree with machetazo at least we are able to watch the games. However I'd say I love Marcelo Araujo and Macaya Marquez as commentators!! BTW the central american guy El Maestro mentions is salvadoran.
I watch it But in swedish,i usually don't like swedish commentators they are so boring and wrongfull but this guy is ok.
Yeah, pretty much. Better than nothing though. Since I came back from uni I've seen Gremio vs. Penarol, River vs. Libertad and Santos vs. El Nacional. Plus some quality Serie A football, god bless Eurosport! Ps. Sorry for lack of accents and stuff, I need to learn the num keypad codes since I started posting here
Despues de leer de nuevo este thread me di cuenta de algo de lo q siempre se quejan las audiencias, y es de la falta de objetividad, acaso esperan q las gentes se despojen de sus preferencias? El juego de Pumas frente a Cobreloa lo narraron unos mexicanos ¡Que a la gran puta mano! si solo els faltaba besarle las patas a Hugo Sanchez y eso q hasta lo expulsaron!!! siempre vamos a ver tendencias unas veces mas evidentes q otras!
ayer me di cuenta cual es la raiz de tanta critica estos boludos creen que aun estan en provincia y que cuando un equipo argentino juega, a ellos solo los escuchan en la plata o BS se les olvida que estan al aire para toda america, No piensan en grande - estos mundanos muerganos de provincia!
