Re: The Beautiful Game Thread

I don't really have a problem with Rob Stone because he just seems so excited all the time. Not like obnoxiously excited, but almost like a little kid, like he's just really happy to be there. He honestly doesn't really fit in with the rest of that crew.

To be fair, I watched a lot of the old Fox Soccer programming and the whole group eventually grew on me a little (similar to the BeIN crew as well), but I'd still have them at the bottom of my list of preferred studio and analyst teams.

The general information they get and use on the show, and the way they analyze things is just really poor. I get that it's basic and the American soccer audience isn't as educated just yet, but imo it's too basic and most of the time they come across as having zero clue.

On a related note, I just realized how much I want a studio team of Ballack, Lallas and Bobo. Just for one show, just to see what happens.

Re: The Beautiful Game Thread

So much of the soccer I watch is DVR'ed, so I rarely have time for the pregame and halftime stuff. I enjoy the Fox in-game commentary quite a bit, but I agree NBC does a damn fine job all the way around. And I've grown to like the BeIn Sports telecasts as well.

My issue with ESPN really doesn't have anything to do with any soccer coverage they've ever done. I've just grown tired of them in general. TMZSPN is what I like to call the network.

That being said, I'll watch whatever channel soccer is on and be happy about it.

Not a big fan of Fox but Friedel has really grown on me.

Dunno if anyone else has seen this, but I'm left with a few questions, mostly about the positions some of the attackers are listed at. Also, as someone who has used transfermarkt almost exclusively, did I miss something where Football Whispers became a go-to place for valuatioin? Or is that just ESPN being ESPN?
