Next US game will have Rob Stone and Tommy Smyth.

The two after that will have JP Dellacamera and Tommy Smyth. (by my counting, the game in Columbus is the third.)

It also explains why we had to put up with Dave Dir last weekend, and what apparently makes a good soccer broadcaster.

Thank God. No Ty Keough.
And I'll take JP and Tommy any day of the week.

No it really isn't. American soccer fans just need something to complain about all the time, and announcers are an easy target.

I just find Ty annoying. That's all. Just my preference.

Stone is the one that needs to go. Bring back Jack and Phil Scheon. I like Ty and JP too.

Did I read that right? Someone actually REQUESTING that Phil Schoen return?? There's something I never thought I'd see. IMO, they finally got it right with Tommy and JP.
