It's amazing how Tommy Smyth is still with ESPN, he is clueless, just
like the rest of them, he has been for years, whenever he's
commentating I turn the sound OFF!!!... |

Please do not ruin our World Cup experience with announcers that know
nothing about the game at the highest levels. It is important to bring in
competent and knowledgeable commentary to the world's largest
spectators sport. If the commentators are lacking quality like those of the
2002 ESPN broadcast, I'll definetly be watching Univision...If I'm
in the States, that is! |

I like Rob Stone, but the other 2 you can have. Tommy Smyth and Derek Rae
would seem to make the most sense to m e, especially since they already
work for ESPN.
Key demos for the suits that care:
age 28, male, income level (High)
Basically the most coveted advertising demo on the planet.

Deborah annd David Chuk :
I support this petition. We are tired of having people who just want to
hear themselves talk instead of intelligently calling the game. None of
your announcers hold a candle to Ian Dark, John Champion and the rest of
the English crew. Soccer is an intelligent game and needs high-level
intellectual commentary. |

With presenters of the quality of Derek Rae, Tommy Smyth and Seamus Malin
it is rediculous to keep them hidden from your main audience.

listen to your scheduled announcers. |

As a US citizen, I find myself constatnly defending football on cable TV.
It is the most exciting experience to watch a match when the announcers
have extensive knowledge and passion about the game. Please do not ruin
this World Cup. This is bigger than the olympics for us!!
Besides if you got some English/Irishmen on air with accents you might
boost viewership among women. |

I support this petition. This is a beautiful game and not very hard to
understand. The announcers you have dumb things down on a massive scale,
explaining every little thing that happens on the pitch. You need to have
announcerswith experience, who actually know the game and who will pause
and let the game speak for itself at times. You need to let Derek Rae and
Tommy Smith call some of the games.

I support this petition. You're making FOX look like the real leader
in sports. They at least know a little about football (soccer). If you
could get Max Bretos you should. He's got great knowledge of soccer
and is definitely pro-american. This is serious. Pay attention beacause
this world cup will start a huge soccer following in America. Remember I
said that. |

Balboa might have played for the United States, but he's an awful
color commentator. Color should add something to the game; Balboa's
talking just fills space.
Dave O'Brien isn't much better, but he's not the main concern
here! |
