Been watching all the games at work (thankfully finish work at 10am this morning and enough time to nip home and then get to the pub for the Belgium game at 11am)
I will be in the office or cooking a meal (work in a kids home with 12 kids) and hear the commentator going ecstatic, turn to see the action and one team has won a throw in or something.
Watched the highlights and general chat about the games late last night and they had Tony Meiola or whatever his name is (the greatest US keeper ever apparently) and Kelly Smith the ex england woman's player chatting shit in her cockney accent!
NBC pisses all over Fox
Aly has a very good reputation as a commentator; probably the best of lot from Fox.Fox is definitely terrible, but Aly Wagner did well yesterday on her first ever commentating spot. You could hear how incredulous she was over some of her co-commentator's pearls of "wisdom."
:-)I have no clue who was doing the Germany/Mexico game but he kept saying "Ozeeeeeeeeeeel" and it was really irritating. Given that the bug-eyed little twerp barely did anything, I thankfully didn't hear it too often.
There was a great moment just now in the pre game. They were showing the Belgium line up and Boyata was the first guy to pop up. The pundit got confused, thinking it was the Panama line up instead. Complete amatuer hour.
Strange... I thought that Ray had contracted with NBC.Aly Wagner and Derek Rae did the England game today. Thought they were ok but others have been awful. As someone else said, NBC definitely pisses all over Fox.
