Yeah, and what's with the US soccer announcers on ABC/ESPN? Are they all Landon Donovan nut-huggers? Their annoying solution to EVERY problem the US faces is some splice variant of "Landon Donovan needs to step up". Got news for you idiots: Donovan isn't the whole goddamn team. Hell, he's not even the team captain, so every stupid "Donovan needs to inspire the team" comment doesn't even reflect the real world. We have a lot of good players and Donovan certainly isn't frakkin' Pele. I've started to realize that our commentators don't know shit about the game. Except for the woman, she's actually quite sharp. Stupid males.
And don't even get me started on ABC/ESPN's cluttering the screen with useless crap....

Brent Musberger is the single worst announcer in sports.
"That's a bold assertion," you say. "I find that hard to believe. I mean, he's famous."
Allow me to explain: Musberger generally calls games for ABC as part of a two-man announcing team. Musberger is the "play-by-play" guy, and the other…

I think you should rename this blog Soccertopia. Or maybe Neurofootball. Or something.

Keep that attitude up and I won't link to your blog. Don't you have a wedding to plan? :p
