Haha US commentary is fairly tolerable these days, according to my experience with streams anyway.I'm gonna be watching a lot of this WC in the US, I'm dreading this aspect of it.
The ones Bein (I think?) hire to cover La Liga are completely intolerable.Haha US commentary is fairly tolerable these days, according to my experience with streams anyway.
Much better than what it was about 10-15 years ago anyway.
"He's shot that ball right into the goal sack, scoooorrreeeee" etc.
They use a lot of English commentators for Prem now so may use some of them anyway.Haha US commentary is fairly tolerable these days, according to my experience with streams anyway.

No, they have different commentators to Match of The Day on BBC at night and a lot of the ones they use aren't employed by Sky either. Must be individual contracts unless they are using the same feed as Setanta do in Ireland as I know they had their own bunch themselves seperate to Beeb and Sky.Most of the US EPL broadcasts use the stock global feed with English commentators, don't they?
Yeah that's not what I meant. I mean that the Premier League itself has its own broadcast feed and commentary team that it sells around the world (you can usually tell by that green-purple scorecard on the top left). Most of the US broadcasts I've seen (and indeed English-language global broadcasts) use that.No, they have different commentators to Match of The Day on BBC at night and a lot of the ones they use aren't employed by Sky either.

The US ones I have watched on rare occasions have had links from studio to the commentator so not sure. Those are only 3pm on a Saturday though and the Yanks do a big programme on it hosted by an English woman. The US pundits are terrible, make Robbie Earle seem like a brilliant one.Yeah that's not what I meant.

Yeah that hasn't stopped them employing Lawrenson for 20 years either.Does anyone remember when they gave Freddie Flintoff some spot with the drunk England fans, or did I just imagine that? They packed him off to World Cup 2006 as I recall, not bothered by the fact that Fred hates football.
Simon Hill I find really good as a main commentator. Craig Foster I find terrible.Fair dinkum. What are Aussie commentators like?
