winterbadgerNo comment on the game so far, but can ESPN PLEASE
1. stop putting crap all over the screen. It's like a really bad website, covered in bells and whistles that impede the viewer from actually enjoying (and, often, even seeing) the game, which is the whole point of the broadcast.
2. Get Dave O'Brien out of the studio NOW and put someone in there with Marcelo who actually has the faintest idea WTF is going on and can comment with some insight on the sport he's watching? I really don't want 90 minutes of rewarmed meaningless stats and remarks about what's obvious to anyone watching the game (I mean, *really* obvious to *anyone*; I can see that Jan Koller is rubbing his head, I don't need someone to tell me that).
For heavens' sake, why put a baseball announcer on your World Cup coverage? Find a veteran sports journalist who has covered soccer, or maybe even an experienced manager, who can actually comment about the strategic aspects of the game, the way Marcelo can talk abot the tactical aspects. This is the BIGGEST tournament for the biggest sport in the world: would you send a boxing reporter to cover the World Series?

Date: 2006-06-12 05:04 pm (UTC)I'm not a football fan, but I agree with this too. Not only on sports channels, but other types of channels, too. I hate those damned news headline things at the bottom of the screen, and huge logos that cover people's faces, and other nonsense.
