I don't understand most of the words, but the Spanish TV coverage of the Cup is 100 times better than those lame ABC announcers.

Musberger: What is soccer?
Balboa: Captain Obvious - pointing out what we already know.
OBrien: Talks about everything except soccer (never seen a match until 6 months ago).
Lalas: Pretty hairdo. More powder please.
Wynalda: Arrogant, occassional hint of soccer knowledge
Foudy: No comment.

Only in America would we put a bunch of amateur announcers and soccer know-nothings on the world's biggest sporting event.

Been watching univision from the start. I can see for myself what's happening and the goal call is outstanding.

The announcers love the game and their excitment is contagious.

I switch to ABC for after game analysis, but today Wynalda was a total turnoff.
