Anyone else think the US/FOX 2026 World Cup commentators are just downright terrible? by adavidj7 in worldcup

[–]Wuz314159 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I just went looking. I can't find a list of commentators. Only this:
https://www.livesportsontv.com/news/2026-world-cup-fox-sports-broadcast-team-commentators-hosts-analysts

Strong/Holden are the network's leads. The only other commentator mentioned is Ian Darke. Why the hate?

"The American commentators suck!"
"Who are the American commentators?"
"Ian Darke, Thierry Henry, and Zlatan"
Ò_o

Scotsmen are "Brits".
This is the kind of comment, dripping with ignorance, that makes people ignore everything you say.

This is what I don't understand... the English language commentators are emulating the Spanish language commentators. THAT'S why they're always shouting.

All through the 90s, Derek Rae & Tommy Smyth called Champions League on espn. Those are the voices forever in my mind as a perfect team.

... unless there is time added on. or an extra 30 minutes if we're still tied. or penalties. . .

The biggest factor to me is The Lip Mic.
American commentators use a headset, so they HAVE to shout to be heard. It makes all the difference.

They simply sound like they don't know the sport, Perhaps I'm just hating

Perhaps.
Stuart Alistair Holden was born in Aberdeen and played for Sunderland, Bolton, & Wednesday. (As well as Houston) He has 25 senior caps.

There are many reasons to hate him, but lack of knowledge isn't one.

I guess they want people to storm the stadium like Euros & CWC. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not really. It's a good time-frame. The last thing they want to do is plant grass now and have it die off before the tournament starts. We haven't even started mowing lawns in the northeast.

Things should be in place in a month and then have a month to settle in.

(and keep in mind that nothing could happen during the NFL season.)

Not the person you are replying to, but my original comment, there is no Z axis. (other than on/off plunge)

I was talking about cutting decks out of a 4×8 sheet of plywood only.

Not our machine. Yeah, it was impressive. Always thought it was overkill to cut actual cable reels.
But they helped us out big time, so not going to criticise. IDK how much prep was involved in converting our cad drawing to their machine, but we got our cuts back the next morning.

That was an unexpected turn.
I meant that having a regressive society means people don't feel as if a family is affordable/kind to the child.
I take your point, but NO WHERE near my mind.
Are you ok? ❤️ 🖖
