I was highly entertained tonight watching the Revs and Crew slug it out. The commentary was fun and the post game show was great too. I also caught the one hour highlight show one night that was awesome. FSW is what we should be getting on ESPN
They were very easily distracted but at least they were funny and kept the match entertaining (which it was anyway.) MLS Wrap tonight wasn't too bad. I was a bit dissapointed that I didn't get to see the LA v. KC highlights, but I can live with that. Good job FSW! BTW, anyone else think Sean Wheelock should be deported for calling Hugh Dallas a world-class referee? (I'm kidding, but I thought it was very funny that he mentioned Dallas right there with Collina.)
ESP f**** N. Not only that, the frickin KC-LA game is not even on right now as scheduled. I figured FSW did not show KC-LA highlights due to the ESPN tape delay -- a bit naive I guess. Gotta luv em...bastards.
Hehe, well its a good thing God loves soccer, cause I gotta miss church in the morning so I can watch this game.
hate to keep harping on this but we've got a whole forum/thread for this stuff. i know it applies to mls but thats my oppinion... and i'm pissed off i missed the game
Bretos blows. I'd seriously take Jack Edwards over that idiot. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled FSW shows a match each week -- that's really great. I even tried to start to watch the Crew/Revs match on FSW yesterday. I just couldn't take the bleatting from Bretos and switched to the NE coverage on the Shootout.
I love any game as long as it is well played....as it happened with NE-Columbus....I must say i do like Bretos' style although it remains to be seen whether he'd be good for USMNT games...As for those who like Jack better, I cannot disagree more
Was he really that bad?... I didnt think so.. At least he injects some personality into the commentating..
Bretos rules.It's more like watching a game with your friends instead of listening to some drone going through the motions.He and Allen Hopkins are a great team and really have a lot of fun when they broadcast. Adrian Healy is the English announcer for the Revs games.He is also good and knows a lot about MLS.His voice will sometimes hit a note or two that is quite annoying,but all in all,I like listening to him call a game. Jack Edwards is doing just fine where he is.No need to bring him back to the main stage. PEACE
Yes. He's horrific! He takes unintelligible noises to a new level (maybe he's working on "climbing the ladder.") I could just tune out Jack without turning off the sound. Bretos is just so annoying, even that filter doesn't work when he's bleating.
I love Bretos. I thought he and Hopkins were in fine form - with the exception of a few errors (calling Clark McBride on one or two occasions) - on Saturday. Made for a great telecast.
If I wanted to listen to one of my dimwit friends' dopey commentary, I'd just turn down the sound and listen to HIM. Bretos sucks. I want soccer commentators to say a minimum of stupid things over the course of a match, which is a standard that Bretos doesn't meet. Enthusiasm is a rather poor substitute for competence.
I wouldn't know what you're talking about since I don't hang around dimwits,well except when I'm on Big Soccer.
