52 4 Mar 2006 - 1:26    John Sullen : Stone, Dellacamara, Balboa, O'brien are make your broadcast unwatchable. I will watch on telemundo. They disrespect the game. I'm an American born and raised. Tommy Smyth lives in America so why are you afraid of him. Show some respect. O'brien is utter bile.
53 4 Mar 2006 - 1:26    Ian Montgomery : I support this petition.
54 4 Mar 2006 - 1:26    Bryan Beatson : I support this petition.
55 4 Mar 2006 - 1:26    Lisa K. berger : I support this petition.I love to dance and watch soccer, but i dont like hearing those gosh darn american announcers! ;-)
56 4 Mar 2006 - 1:26    Scott Abercrombie : I support this petition. I will watch matches at the pub on Telemundo even though I would rather watch the match in HD. Please hire qualified announcers!!!
57 4 Mar 2006 - 1:26    Mike Cardillo : Would you put a guy who's only experience is watching his son playing Little League to call the World Series? That's what ESPN has done with Dave O'Brien, a dreaded soccer-dad and a phoney at that. SCORE!
58 4 Mar 2006 - 1:26    Ben Drerup : I support this petition! I have already changed my DishNetwork package to one that doesn't include ESPN so that I could get good soccer coverage. It is such a waste that ESPN has the rights to the World Cup when the games will be announced by amateurs who don't understand the game and get bored with the action and start talking about other crap while the game is on.
59 4 Mar 2006 - 1:26    Beau Johnson : I support this petition.
60 4 Mar 2006 - 1:27    Anthony Vanden Borre : I support this petition.
61 4 Mar 2006 - 1:27    Rick : Any petition supporting the removal of American style announcers is supported by me as well. Its unfortunate that TSN, an ESPN affiliate here in Canada, has British quality announcers while you guys there in the States have to deal with SCOOOOOOOOORE! Get the BBC feed boys!
62 4 Mar 2006 - 1:27    Marco Schiano : I support this petition.
63 4 Mar 2006 - 1:28    Tom Baker : O'Brian, JP and Stone are AWFUL.

65 4 Mar 2006 - 1:28    Paul V Samala : I support this petition.Please use announcers that actually understand the sport and the players. This is an event as big if not bigger than the Olympics, please treat it with as much respect.
66 4 Mar 2006 - 1:28    Christopher Johnston : ESPN, please give the World Cup the respect that we, your American market demands. Even if you don't take this event seriously we do.
67 4 Mar 2006 - 1:29    Joao Moutinho : I support this petition.
68 4 Mar 2006 - 1:29    Gary Marley : Rob Stone is a horrible announcer and represents everything that is wrong with American Soccer. This is a sport played by everyone across class lines. Not just middle class wankers. Get some announcers who have some experience with the sport and not some baseball loving idiot! Get some really good announcers who know the game. Bring back Mike Hill!!!
69 4 Mar 2006 - 1:29    Virgle Lyons : Out with Dave O' Brien, In with Derek Rae!!!!!!!
70 4 Mar 2006 - 1:30    Gary Beltrami : I support this petition. As an American fan you are doing the game a great diservice with the cast of announcers you are planning to use. I am not an expat of another country but a US born citizen who loves the game. Please consider using talent that is familiar with the game and that apriciates it the way we, the fans, do. Thank you,
71 4 Mar 2006 - 1:30    David Fishwick : Derek Rae please.
72 4 Mar 2006 - 1:31    Adam Miller : I support this petition. Please don't make me watch with the sound down. I heard the USA/Poland commentary and the guy was awful. It's the best tournament in the world and deserves the best commentary.
73 4 Mar 2006 - 1:31    geoffrey mccarthy : Would love to hear a handfull of Americans announcing the matches. In fact, as an American, nothing would make me prouder. However, as a fan of the game I want to hear the best announcing possible, and the chosen announcers can not offer that. Please reconsider you selection.

Thankfully, I'll be in Germany for the World Cup...I will not have to suffer through these terrible announcers that will be doing the games... Unfortunatly, my TIVO will be forever scared with the disgrace that is Dave O'Brien, JP and the Stoner... Don't be afraid of a foreign accent...Present the game the way it should be!
92 4 Mar 2006 - 1:38    Dan Brunetti : I support this petition.
93 4 Mar 2006 - 1:38    Austin Gray : It isn't the American sports fans you're appeasing with World Cup coverage, it is the fans of the universal sport. The best way to do this is by using authentic commentators. Don't fear British accents, and let them call it the way it is meant to be called. If not, I'll gladly watch the spanish stations.
