We’re playing not to lose. Our midfield is doing nothing. Mount is awful, he scores the odd worldly, but doesn’t create much for me. Rice is pedestrian and Bellingham and Saka just not on it at the moment. We need to up the tempo and get USA on the back foot.
 
The match commentary we have to endure for this game on the English language US channel Fox is beyond over the top.

If some of you heard it would I'd say I can see why one would be understandably annoyed and think we're a bunch of "dumb Yanks" when it comes to the sport.

The overhyping and over-explaining of everything is really too much.

I 100% get that it's for a more general audience who don't follow the sport in Europe as much (MLS and USA Women's team, perhaps), but it's also why Ted Lasso is a poignant joke and contributing to the reaction to Jesse Marsch's "reactions" from Leeds fans.

TBF, I will say that I do think the other part of Ted Lasso that works and arguably Marsch, is that in some doses "enthusiasm" from those originating from "The States" can also be positive and effective.

The thing with even the best considered TV/radio "sports announcers" as we call them here is they also don't scream
and react to EVERYTHING which almost makes nothing exciting and ends up being simply irritating and a sign of trying too hard.
