They like BBC

>>77701597

Fox Sports uses Americans. Makes me envy the deaf.

>>77701597
pork loin

british / scottish are the best for soccer matches

american announcers sound flat to my ears. i like the accents when i watch soccer for some reason

if you ever listened to old games on ESPN with american commentators you'd understand
fucking dire

>>77701693
Liar. Just watched Wolfsburg - Dortmund on FS1 and they used 2 British commentators

no commentator in America knows anything about soccer

>>77701597
Same reason we use American commentators for NFL games that are broadcast here.

>>77701597

its cheaper

>>77701597
Knowing US soccer fans, they're probably Americans faking the accent

>>77701716
Better to listen to clueless americans than latin american/spanish commentators speaking very poor english

>>77701769
Because you are mirroring the American stream? Not so sure the Americans are mirroring the British stream on the other hand. I just think they hire British commentators.

You now imagine Joe Buck doing soccer commentary

>>77701796
i'd rather listen to some mexican speaking poor english than an american desu

>>77701743
True. They spend all their energy and passion NFL, MLB or NBA.

AND HERE IS THEE-OH WALL-COT ON THE LEFT WINGSIDE AND HE DELIVERS HIS CROSSING TO THE FEET OF MESUT URZIL WHO SHOOTS IT INTO THE NET, ONE NIL ARSHENAL AND ITS A GLORIOUS KICK FROM MESUT URZIL

1 word explains it all:
cucked

>>77701815
for how boring the games are most of the time he'd probably be great for it

>>77701716
>"And Fabregas is in AGAIN! AND SCORES AGAI-, my apologies that seems to be an instant replay"

Every time.

>>77701743
this. i turn shit off if its taylor twellman or alexi lolass or some other 'boom goes the dynamite' dipshit

>>77701805
No, when SKY broadcast that stuff we always get a ceremonial Yank alongside a British commentator.

It's partly because of >>77701743 and also because it adds 'authenticity'.

>>77701895
did this really happen? clip pls

john strong and stu holden are the GOAT american soccer broadcast team
the english are better though. especially the ones that do the champions league.

Because i'd rather hang myself than listen to fucking Taylor Twellman

>>77701597
Americans don't really watch soccer so the talent pool is too shallow for American commentators. You could take a decent commentator and make him watch a bunch of soccer, but without a real interest from childhood he would never be good.

Racism

Because they think that everyone with a British accent is smart and knowledgeable.

>>77701786
underrated post

>>77701597
American commentators never studied or trained in calling soccer, they all came from other sports. That's how you end up with abominations like when Gus Johnson called soccer games for a while.

I'm sorry Serbs can only march for frostbitten corpses.

>>77701796
agreed
and in general i'm extremely annoyed by the whole
>GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
shit, it's so fake it hurts

the commentators i prefer besides italians are the french, they can actually convey excitement without using some tired gimmick

Ameritads, never change.

Everyone hates hearing about one-to-nothing leads, or back-to-back wins, even Ameribros themselves.
