You are watching on ABC/ESPN right?? Average rating so far for World Cup is 2.5. Low ratings = less commercial breaks.

Perhaps one reason for the low ratings is the awful US coverage of the World Cup. Univision and BBC coverage outclassed ESPN/ABC by miles.

Obrien is a baseball announcer who got a "special assignment" to cover the WC. That's like putting a golf announcer in the booth for the Super Bowl.
